“For security reasons she would not allow his name to be published.”
– I could be reading this wrong since I’m on my lunch break and don’t have much time, but is this a typo or purposeful mix-up to protect source’s identity?
Update now that I’ve read it: Typo, of course.

I keep reading this and marveling at how Pawlenty’s fox smokes Red Hots. (Does she mash them into a fine powder beforehand?) Yes, I’m 12 years old.

Not included: Mark Harmon, People’s SMA 1986. Although he was written off St. Elsewhere that year. (Pointless information: Harry Hamlin was the SMA in 1987. HARRY HAMLIN! Such a dad jeans call. Makes sense.)
