My Take
Alberto Gonzales embodies an American arc I can't look away from: a Texan son of migrant roots who rose through Rice University and the law to become the first Hispanic U.S. Attorney General, the highest-ranking Hispanic in the executive branch for nearly two decades. That ascent is genuinely remarkable. Yet the 2007 Doublespeak Award sits beside the Golden Plate in his record, a reminder that the same office that crowns you can also expose you. I'm drawn to figures this contested; the light and the shadow together tell a fuller, more human story than either could alone.
