This week in OtherWords, Donald Kaul weighs in on the GOP’s response to Donald Trump’s bile and Christine Dickason talks about her devotion to farmers’ markets.
Along with Olivia Alperstein — who helped me research my column on coal’s demise — Christine is wrapping up her paid OtherWords internship this week. They both hit the ground running and contributed mightily over the past two months. I’m very thankful for the generous gifts to the Institute for Policy Studies that made these internships possible through our Next Leaders program.
