Dear Readers:

Those of you who stayed up on election night watching Bill on ABC know that he burned the late midnight oil until 4:00 a.m. on Wednesday. Between his editorial for the magazine, a panel at Harvard on Thursday, Saturday’s painful defeat of Harvard by Penn, and a trip back to New York for ABC’s This Week, and an exhausting chili competition at a colleague’s annual chili cookoff on Sunday, there was little time for him to write the newsletter.
