Nothing says "you will value my opinion" quite as well as this intense closeup of Katrina vanden Heuvel.First thing's first: "VAN-din WHO-vuhl."
A progressive writer, vanden Heuvel is most famous for editing and publishing The Nation, the oldest continuously published weekly magazine in the United States, nicknamed "the flagship of the left" (hence my blog's title, which is German for "to the left").
Try to have a staring contest with this picture; I dare you.

Her work has been featured in newspapers across the country and on several television and radio networks. In Nach Links, I will be focusing on her weekly columns in the Washington Post.
No matter what angle you look at her picture from, she'll always be staring right back at you hungrily. Allow me to direct your attention to a photo of vanden Heuvel's magazine to your right.Vanden Heuvel has received numerous awards, including the Planned Parenthood's Maggie Award, New York University's 1988 Olive Branch Award, and, in 2003, the New York Civil Liberties Union's Callaway Prize for the Defense of Right of Privacy -- or, if you prefer, the NYCLUCPDRP.
Dedicated to her work, Katrina vanden Heuvel is orderly and reads through five newspapers every morning, has a husband and a daughter, and enjoys long walk on the beach. Well, that last one is an assumption, but I think it's a safe one, don't you?
She sounds like she belongs in Sleepy Hollow. Katrina vanden Heuvel. Katrina Van Tassel.
ReplyDeleteFurthermore, that is an efficient initialism you have there, and I am appreciative of the pronunciation guide, for I had been mentally referring to her as "Katrina vanden Hoy-vuhl."
I lost at the staring contest. I need to go write words.
Firstly, I owe the fact that I know what an initialism is to the Vlogbrothers. In addition, "initialism" is not in Google Chrome's spell check, so I tried to fix my correct spelling several times.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your words!
