BEg2 ch 31 “tango”

[Michael Bailey]

*Joseph Tracy wrote:*

*Maxine and Thrubwell’s reference to
*>* the thinktankTango is a reference to the Manhattan Institute.*


*- That’s as may be; definitely a source of bad ideas, imho…*


*But, direct textual reference to the imperialist “tango” (chapter 10)
- as a “DC think tank” argues against total acceptance of that
attribution *

*I think the name is also evocative of a place adversely affected by
Friedmanite bandleaders conducting those bad ideas: Argentina (driving
Shawn’s Lacanian therapist, Leopoldo, to exile in Manhattan)*
