4/01/2003 10:54:00 PM | Timothy The Best Merger Since AOLTimeWarner! Heh. Andrew Grossman could always write better propaganda than I could! Notice how they get all the positions? Dan is telling me not the sign the dotted line without checking out the Review's accounting first. Some background: I conceived of the idea of starting a liberal newspaper winter term in Hanover after working on the Bill Bradley campaign: Aly Rahim can attest to us talking about it then. While living in D.C. with Andrew Grossman (yes, that part is true: Grossman had me smoke my first cigarette, and my lungs thank him!), I had some important planning sessions with Dan Pollock and Michelle Chui at a bar called the Common Share. (That may ring a bell if you look on the back page of the Free Press: the 'common share' section was originally tenatively slotted to be called 'Left in the Dust' but the Review sent spies to our second meeting and published a little, silly, and snide week in review piece on it). Grossman, by the way, suggested several times that the paper should called 'The Pinko' and be printed on Financial-Times like paper. He seemed to really like that idea. But for some reason, the name 'Dartmouth Free Press' popped into my head and that stuck. Grossman also did suggest at one dinner that summer that he was thinking of having the Review start printing socialist material alongside the traditional fare and encouraged me to join up. We had an extended discussion, but the way he was promising to alter my mind never conquered my skepticism of the dubieus idea! perma link |
