“There
are some men who lift the age they inhabit, till all men walk on higher ground
in that lifetime.” —American playwright Maxwell Anderson (1888-1959) on George
Washington, in Valley Forge (1937)
Happy
birthday to George Washington, born on this day in 1732. He was indisputably,
as biographer James Thomas Flexner called him, the “indispensable man” in creating
the United States.
