Lemann on Romney: Transaction Man
There’s a curious piece on Mitt Romney in The New Yorker, by Nicholas Lemann, dean of the Columbia School of Journalism. It’s called “Transaction Man,” and the first half of it (approximately) is just about what you’d expect, although with … Continue reading →
Goldilocks looks at Mitt Romney, finds him wanting
