A2: Politics

By

Eileen Pollack of Ann Arbor writes an opinion piece for the NY Times, taking the pulse for the presidential election: “Judging the political climate in my state by walking around lefty Ann Arbor is like a polar bear judging global warming by staring at the ice cube beneath its feet. And so, on a misty Sunday not long ago, I drove 30 miles northwest to Howell, a town that is still trying to live down its reputation as the former home of a Ku Klux Klan grand dragon.” [Source]
