The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I had always heard that she gave Warren the manuscript to read before it went to the publisher, so he read it and thought it was great with no changes necessary. But as soon as the book hit the shelves, he stopped talking to her. Apparently, some of his friends read the book and were surprised that there were some things about Warren's personal life that were portrayed in the book that weren't particularly flattering.
Like a lot of things in life the truth is probably somewhere in the middle but I always kind of thought that Warren handled the situation regarding Alice somewhat poorly.
