"In this era of Internet blasts and ornery town-hall meetings," National Endowment for the Humanities chairman Jim Leach "wants to buck what he considers one of the 21st century's most insidious trends: the end of civility. It's something he's been harping on since the mid-1990s. 'I am appalled by the notion of cultural wars,'" he says....
