COP on the Hill

Stories from the week of May 20 & 27, 2016
Hat made me look, she said: When someone at Grover Norquist’s meeting mentioned an alternative to Trump, I raised by arms and shouted, “ Gary Johnson.” The local reporter asked me a minute later for an in camera interview…we retired to the media room and did a 6-7, minute interview.

Becoming known: From out of the blue I received a call for a Skype interview on the Swiss program. Possibly (I forgot to ask) they simply Googled it (Swiss Heroin treatment program)…the COP website is at the top of the list and clicking on it goes right to the page. The 10 M interview below.
