CROSSOVER CLARENCE: The weekend columns are now up-to-date. Note the strong Sunday crossover column by Chicago Tribune columnist Clarence Page on Condoleezza Rice, his seventh crossover of the year. Mr. Page has been one of the least partisan columnists evaluated by Lying in Ponds, not because he takes no strong positions, but simply because he takes the radical approach of offering substantive praise (Condoleezza Rice, John Kerry) and criticism (George W. Bush, Howard Dean) without regard for party affiliation.
