> At 94, Buffet has witnessed history and has represented a vision of betterment, a just society, and sound economic stewardship

How exactly did he "represented a vision of betterment, a just society, and sound economic stewardship"?

> But for many, it seems, the lessons about co-operation, stable economic growth. the sane application of democratic principles, and the rule of law must be learned again.

Who are these "many" that need to be taught about those "democratic principles" and the "rule of law". How are these related to Buffett?

> It's the end of an era bona fides and respect for truth and accountability as the structural integrity of democratic society.

What?
