...right and to frustrated Hillary supporters, to be sure. But more than that, it was a concession to the contingent of American voters, growing in size and volume, who want a leader who looks, sounds and thinks like them.

In 1955 he was hired by Newsweek, then TIME's distant competitor, and rose rapidly up the editing ranks. In 1960 he worked with his friend...
...says please steal our stuff, just don't distort it and they distorted it. We have absolutely no objection to a candidate accurately quoting us. But we really have to push back hard when people distort what we say because our credibility is at stake. In this case, they knew perfectly well they were misrepresenting what we said. It was really outrageous and we kind of went off on them I guess. We were not amused...
