The first official action from the White House since the election losses is to announce the list of recipients of various honourary medals, to be awarded in a few days time. Among those on the list for National Humanities Medals--
The Hoover Institution (John Raisian, Senior Fellow and Director of the Hoover Institution, will accept the award on behalf of the Institution) - Palo Alto, CA
Bernard Lewis, Middle Eastern Studies Scholar - Princeton, NJ
This would be the Bernard Lewis who is the intellectual source of Bush's obsession with Osama Bin Laden's "strong horse" prescription for the reforming of the Middle East, and who predicted that an Iranian nuclear detonation would take place on 22nd August. And the full name of the institutional recipient is The Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace. Note the ordering.
