My
old Herald colleague and friend, Brett Arends, has published a new book ‘The Romney Files: From Bain to Boston to the White House Bid.’ For Romney fans, it’s
not a pretty portrait of the former Massachusetts governor, zeroing in on his
jobs-creation record in the Bay State as governor (not very impressive, unless
you think being ranked third lowest among states in terms of jobs growth is
something to brag about) and his record at Bain Capital (as in investment
returns, not the never-ending debate over whether Bain created or destroyed jobs). … Met up with Brett last night at a book-signing reception at O’Neill
and Associates in Boston. It was great to see him and other friends. ... Still reading Brett's book. More
later.
