Lunch with Bill Evers

Had a very pleasant lunch yesterday with Bill Evers, an old friend who has been at Hoover forever except for a recent stint with the government as an Education undersecretary, including five months in Iraq. Good to rekindle an old friendship and catch up. And that's really what it was -- no agenda, just two old friends, though I think one upshot will be another stint as a Hoover Media Fellow. Since his wife is in Orange County we should be able to see a bit more of one another. For better or worse we reinforced one another's basic presumption that the smaller government is the better.
