Re that Pelosi headline w "center'' quote - from the NYT-- going round. Here are her EXACT WORDS. And Anniversaries.

[Mark Kohut]

"Own the center left, own the mainstream,” Ms. Pelosi, 79, said.

One can still write about the NYT just as Johnson did in *Anniversaries.*
This morning's section was
about three stories the NYT did in early 1968 about Eartha Kitt at the
White House speaking up
about the Vietnam War and making Mrs. Johnson cry. The Times keeps coming
back to make sure
Ms Kitt seems to understand. "I was asked what I thought, so I said so".
.But THERE?..Then?...And so
on.

To its credit, though, the last mention is of protestors with signs saying
We Support Eartha without judgment.
