Endgame on the Gates Fiasco

Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Sargeant James Crowley, and President Obama had their beer today. Now maybe this matter can be done and we can move on to the next controversy that gets all blown out of proportion (even if President Obama was 100% correct in his initial assessment that the Cambridge Police -- in other words Crowley -- acted stupidly). Gates' own reflective assessment strikes me as hitting the right notes.
