...have to be kidding. The folder tells us majestically that Chauncey Winston Minot VII was director of this, president of that...etc...etc., but not where they stand on anything.

I saw Jeff's group needed a business guy and I bargained for a column." Duke has in fact done a competent job as advertising manager, in exchange for his page-three column "Proselytyzer for Capitalism: The Libertarian Viewpoint" where he promotes the ideas of Ayn Rand at least every other week.
