How Would You End This Paragraph?

It's a quiz! Here's a paragraph from today's Washington Post article about John Kerry the "manager:"

Kerry has a history of drilling into small matters, as well. In 1996, when he and his Republican opponent for U.S. Senate, then-Massachusetts Gov. William F. Weld, agreed to limit spending on advertising, and lawyers presented them with a draft agreement, "Weld decided to sign in an hour," said Chris Gregory, Kerry's political director at the time. "Two weeks later, Kerry is still finding problems: 'This word is wrong. They dropped a comma. We can't sign this.' " Ultimately, he signed. He also won the election.

So the question is this: Do you end it as the Post did ("He also won the election.")? Or do you end it: "Within a month, he broke the deal."

You make the call!

The Perfect Halloween Book

My friend and neighbor Dave Elliott has just published the first of his planned "Field Guide" books. It's called "A Field Guide to Monsters." It's a great book for young kids. And since Dave is such a great guy, you should probably buy 10 extra copies. Just because.
