'This Could Well Be Game Over' (NYT)

[Basic LA]

23. I missed that Hoover bit. You're right.

Looking at his Wikipedia page, that item doesn't fit with everything else about him. It's jarring and not good at all. I would've never suspected that by any one of his columns.
Still, we can't take his column as being written by the Times. It's Opinion, written by him.
Now some papers, like the Honolulu Advertiser, used to just have two syndicated opinion columnists, both rabid right wingers.
That's not how it is with the Times or Washington Post or many others.
But again, the Hoover stint for Edsall is a black mark.
