See Wood (5999), 107- 44 Webb (1931), 477; Wills (1997),13 45 Nicholas Lemann argued that when Bush was growing up he never quite mastered Texas masculinity; like his father and d.i.c.k Cheney, he "hunts doves and quail but not deer." Instead he stands in awe of strong, silent, laconic types like fireballer Nolan Ryan and was in the stands on August 4, 1993, when Ryan beaned Robin Ventura, who charged the mound and caught six short, sharp blows to the face from Ryan (then forty-six years old). "It was a fantastic experience for the Texas Rangers fans," Bush said. And, as a Texan would say, Ryan was only acting in self-defense.

Brian Linn is at pains to show that the insurgents employed "terrorism" and seems to imply that this justified harsh U.S. countermeasures-an argument with a contemporary ring a century later (Linn [1989], r8-19, 161).

Walter LaFeber has shown in several books (especially The New Empire) how small and critically placed elites expanded American power in Central America and the Pacific in the nineteenth century, but most Americans were unaware of these excursions, and speaking broadly, until 1898 they were incidents and they were policies, but they were discrete rather than connected in a pattern (beyond the westward expansion which involved almost everyone) and lacked significant impact on the country-even if trade policies were closely watched by cotton, wheat, and other exporters. The agency charged with foreign affairs, the State Department, was a weak, stodgy, and fractious place throughout the nineteenth century. Visionary secretaries of state-John Quincy Adams, William Seward-were certainly important, they were avatars of empire, but they did not sway the nation like Woodrow Wilson or Franklin Roosevelt did in the next century. Perhaps the forgotten hero, James Polk, is the closest a.n.a.logy to strong or "imperial" twentieth-century presidents. LaFeber leans toward this position in his later work, in my reading. See in particular LaFeber (1993), 234-39.
