Israel’s true friend Senator Graham leaves a legacy of rare grace and dignity

His approach stood apart from the transactional or confrontational styles common in Washington. The focus now shifts to whether any remaining figures in American politics can sustain his particular blend of conviction and civility in foreign policy.
