Yesterday was one of those days when the phone calls don’t stop and halfway through the day I learned that I would be on the PBS Newshour with my old friend and sparring partner Zbigniew Brzezinski. Not having worn a national-TV worthy tie into the office that morning, I needed help, fast.
Fortunately Lauren Gottlieb, my research associate at the Council on Foreign Relations, has dedicated herself to fixing up my scruffy image and volunteered to go out to the vendor at 68th and Third to pick up one of the five dollar ties I blogged about last week.
You can find the PBS segment — and the tie — here.
All my life I’ve wanted to be someone; I guess I should have been more specific.
