V.F. spotlit a young editor of the Harvard Law Review in 1990. Prescience!



Barack Obama, age 28, in his first Vanity Fair appearance; photograph by John Goodman.
Yet, now, on the third anniversary of his inauguration, with November  2012 around the corner, it’s down to numbers—unemployment figures, debt  negotiations, David Plouffe’s electoral math—and the gusting insanities  of the G.O.P. primaries. If there’s to be any romance left in Barack  Obama’s story, he’s the one who’ll have to create it.

Well done, Vanity Fair.
