If you read the New Yorker article , you noticed it says The Note was started in January of 2002, which would contradict my memory of reading it in the summer of 2000. While the article also later says that "Toward the end of 2000...Halperin and his staff in the political unit began to collect their own reporting, together with information from other publications, into a single internal document. This became the model for The Note, and, inevitably, it was soon leaked throughout Washington", I am obviously not a Washington insider and certainly didn't receive this. So most likely I am remembering reading it at work in the summer of 2002, confusing their accounts of the midterm elections of that year with my summer reading about the election of 2000 when I worked at the same place. Let this be an example of how fallible the human memory is -- you think yours isn't, but let me assure you, it is. |
