[QUOTE="DDD, post: 137287, member: 35"] In reading Time magazine there is this long paragraph and I don't know what it means. I'm relatively sober :raspberry-tounge: and I would like to know what to heck I am reading. I'll use X for the name so it is not political. A political activist "recalls a sad moment from X's campaign. X had been charged with improperly using his father's money to help finance his career. He denied the truth until the last possible moment, when he finally admitted his Dad made it possible for him to lend his campaign millions." "I looked over and saw this man--thin, in shirtsleeves with frayed cuffs, holding himself in the corner" the activist said. "I thought, this must be the loneliest man on the planet. And in fact, he turned out to be." Would the reference be to the Dad?? Why would he be in frayed cuffs etc.? Would the reference be to the candidate? Why would he be in shirtsleeves holding himself in the corner? It's not earthshattering but I would like to know "who" is referred to. Good Grief, it is just a magazine article and I feel like I read the Illiad or some other college assignment! :blushing2: DDD [/QUOTE]
