Nice piece from Noonan about work in America.
However, she does also have some good insights about politicians and scandals and public officials behaving badly.
This nugget contains some good observations:
"We're shocked. But we're not shocked. And that itself is disturbing. We're used to all this, now, this crassness and lowness of public behavior. The cumulative effect of these stories, I suspect, is that we're starting to fear: Maybe that's us. Maybe that's who we are now. As if these aren't separate and discrete crimes and scandals but a daily bubbling up of the national character."
"Maybe that's us."
Indeed.
