Also... to facilitate commentary/discussion. Seems better to break it up.
Weiner has much to say... as always. Most of it spot on.
re. Whistleblowing: Yes. Harry Lirtzman says... I think at the end of part two.... "Don't try this at home." He knew he was getting out ( retirement) soon and realized he was in a position most teachers are not.
