[Magdalen] Dem convention

[Ginga Wilder]

Grace, it is chilling.  The case study is very well done - an assessment by
a professional who has the skills.  This is not idle judgmentalism.  And,
it is terrifying to think that many people in our country will shrug off
this information as partisanship.  Not.

I am very glad you read the Atlantic piece.
