I thought she was charming (certainly better than the LOUDEST
MAN IN THE WORLD who preceded your talk in Chicago)
She did admit to giving talks to corporate big-wigs "for their
amusement" and she seemed tickled by Ehrenreich and
Frank's humorous cynicism (or realism as I'd call it). She
came off as sort of a Dennis Robert Redmond who spoke
in dry academese rather than vivacious metaphor.
And she said she went to Porto Alegre which she found
inspiring.
