Commentator Joe Loconte (luh-KAHN-tee) talks about George Washington's 1796 farewell address, which was published in the Hartford Courant two hundred years ago today. Loconte says that Washington's emphasis on morality and virtue are as relevant in this year's political campaign as they were then. Joe Loconte is Deputy Editor of "Policy Review: The Journal of American Citizenship."
