I have to confess that I have long managed to avoid knowing what almost

magazines.  True, I cannot avoid glancing at their covers at the supermarket
checkout stand, but this has taught me to recognize only Jennifer Aniston
and Angelina Jolie.

I think here Donald may have uncovered the secret of US political life.
