#1 Actually, a very creative approach. Unlike the vicious idiot who became a soldier to jump start his career at the New Republic, Mr. MacDonald gave people things they valued, taking in exchange that which they valued less. That in the end he got what he most valued -- a beloved wife, a little house, and his first published book -- does not take away from the the fact that he left small happinesses behind every step of his journey.

Neither the clearly earnest and hard working New York Times reporter, nor such vicious idiots as that New Republic writer who joined the Army to give his output more gravitas even as he spun his poisoned lies, will ever understand the difference between their choices and his. Thanks, NOLA!
