Some time ago, a friend sent me this article about one of our high school class mates (first person, the one at the National Journal Group), mixed with some ruminations on the fucked up standards of the people I grew up with. Earlier today, I saw this on BoingBoing. It took me a minute to put the two together, but I’m pretty sure the business plan that made the Atlantic solvent again is the same one being discussed in the first article.
I don’t know if this is a classic “Credit travels up, blame travels down” situation, or merely a case of self-promoters doing their thing, but it’s interesting how our acquaintance is ever so involved in the first article, and completely absent from the second.
