Brad Delong reads the NYTimes TimesSelect so you don’t have to

The Late David Rosenbaum on Jack Abramoff:

The late David Rosenbaum, the very well-regarded New York Times reporter who was murdered early this month near his home in Upper Northwest, wrote an excellent page A1 story about Jack Abramoff almost four years ago: back on April 3, 2002.

A ripping read. At the time it may have read like a simple profile of a power-broker, principled but ambitious. Now it tells a story of greed and hubris while it unmasks the lies about who knew and played along with Abramoff.

I’d pick a key graf or two but I can’t: it’s worth reading in full.
