Reginald Dale, director of the CSIS Transatlantic Media Network, had a commentary published in the International Herald Tribune, "It's Official: Spring is Sprung."
WASHINGTON: Spring began to infiltrate the nation's capital toward the end of February. In the lead were tiny skirmish lines of snowdrops, while trees took on the colored sheen revealing that buds and leaves are on the way.
Then came an escalating cascade of crocuses, daffodils and early flowering cherries and magnolias. This is the best part of spring, full of promise, transient beauty, new life and hope. It is such a magnificent time that I want to shout, "Stop! Hold it right there!"
