brought to you by the Washington Post: It is customary, in profiles of controversial figures, not to include quotes from any critics. If the figure has suffered recent setbacks–if her cause has suffered political defeats, if her allies have questioned her tactical rigidity, if she has been disinvited from campaign rallies–it is considered rude to mention these things. For a closing quote, why not see if you can get the figure’s spouse to say something nice about her? There you go.
