A Lost Manuscript Shows the Fire Barack Obama Couldn’t Reveal on the Campaign Trail

MarkMark
edited October 2022 in Off-Topic
A NYTimes opinion piece I found to be quite interesting by Timothy Shenk.

"Mr. Shenk is a historian and the author of a forthcoming book about the partisan hacks and political visionaries struggling to control our democracy, from which this essay is adapted."

Referring to President Obama, Mr. Shenk wrote: "At Harvard Law, he wrote a blistering manifesto he never published. Its searing advice could help Democrats escape their current political quagmire."

    Hype for a book?

    @Ben,

    Was the word "this" highlighted in the second sentence?

    Edit/Add: There was an embedded link associated with "this". The link was removed and then added to "Link".

    I think it was not highlighted. Or I didn't notice. The new link works but the NY Times will not allow me to read the article unless I jump through a series of hoops. Oh Well, thanks for trying. :-)

    An observation regarding links: Don't know if it's my aging eyeballs or today's monitor screens, but most of the time I just can't see a "link" by text color differentiation.

    That's why anytime that I post a link I underline it so that it stands out from the surrounding text. Just a suggestion, guys.

    I don't have a NY Times subscription myself.
    I can usually read NY Times articles using the following process.
    Google the exact title - "A Lost Manuscript Shows the Fire Barack Obama Couldn’t Reveal on the Campaign Trail" in this case.
    Navigate through the results and then click on the corresponding link for the NY Times article.
