Angel Franco for the Times

You’ll have to trust me on this, but I have long maintained that, in an era of cheap and fast communications, rivers leave much to be desired as political boundaries. Deserts and mountain wastes make much better frontiers, because distance trumps even the best-maintained stone walls when it comes to good neighborliness. Now, fresh evidence of my thesis comes straight from Ohio. Or is it Kentucky?

With any luck, the major Democratic Party candidates will take opposing positions on the future of the so-called Portsmouth Rock, thus introducing a healthy if novel note of substantive debate into the ongoing campaign.
