Honestly, Another Abe?
No more talk of him being The One (Oprah), or a Jedi Knight (George Lucas), or a “Lightworker” (the San Francisco Chronicle), or a “quantum leap in American consciousness” (Deepak Chopra).

It’s a step down from divine redeemer, but you have to start somewhere. (National Review Online)
