text: Editor's NoteLove is All Around You (If You Look For It) Published 3 years agoon January 27, 2017By Deirdre Carroll Share Tweet I am chronically single (I know, hard to believe, right?) Thank God, I have a fabulous job. But for a long time, I hated the month of February and its saccharine emphasis on romantic love.PHOTO BY PATRICK PHILLIPS / FRAME BY ETRO ET610S WORN AS OPTICALSIn terms of Hallmark holidays, Valentine's Day is probably the worst; but I am not inherently opposed to setting aside a day to acknowledge and honor love. And I realized, I was selling myself and my loved ones short because I do have a lot of love in my life. I have fantastic friends, and a loving and supportive family, and a job I am really quite proud of. So, I decided to start focusing on those things and I am encouraging you to do so as well.In fact, this issue is full of love… love for independent eyewear makers, love for finding ways to have a little fun on the job, and love for capturing that eyewear revenue unicorn—the multiple pair sale. Though we may come from all over the country and our business models and presentations run the gamut, I think it's safe to say that if you're a fan of INVISION then we all share a common love for this industry.We live in what seem to be increasingly unsure times, where our differences are being emphasized and demonized, instead of celebrated. It would be easy to fall down a rabbit hole of negativity thinking of all the ways we may be dissatisfied with our lives instead of focusing on all the things we have accomplished. So, this month, the one traditionally devoted to love, I urge you to find and remember all the things about your life and your job that you love. Advertisement And if you are really struggling to find those things, take a long hard look at what changes need to be made. Because the world doesn't need more unhappy people … and no one wants one poking around their eyes!Best wishes for your business, Dee firstname.lastname@example.com article originally appeared in the February 2017 edition of INVISION.

I Think So Our America's Finest honorees could inspire a nation. Published 3 weeks agoon August 2, 2019By Deirdre Carroll I LOVE FOOD. I love eating it. I love cooking it. I love shopping for it and I love watching shows about it. Left up to my own devices: Food Network 24/7.My interest in food, and watching other people's appreciation for and approach to food, has inspired a direct improvement in my own cooking skill and palette. The glimpse into others' worlds has raised my game.The way I feel about food is the way some people feel about home décor and HGTV. Providing a peak into someone else's home and real estate starts the idea wheels turning. How else do you explain the popularity of shiplap?That's pretty much what I think of the America's Finest Optical Retailer profiles we feature in every issue. Sort of like our very own ECP network. A deep dive into exceptional eyecare businesses across the country that help onlookers figure out new ways to improve their own businesses. Maybe you see a marketing idea worth emulating, or a creative way to add an extra exam lane in limited space. The businesses we recognize every year as America's Finest are meant to stimulate and motivate others to raise the bar.Advertisement To see which inspiring optical businesses claimed top honors this year turn to page 36 and have a notebook handy to jot down ideas. Based upon the individual personalities and creative expression of each of the winners and Honorable Mentions, I think it's clear that the only "magical" formula for optical success is: One part creativity + One part passion + Two parts hard work.Speaking of passion, it turns out it may be possible to teach it. At least that is what one office manager in Greenville, OH, thought and she came up with a nine-step program to ensure that her employees were offering a phenomenal experience every time. Read more about that in Best of the Best on page 60.At the end of the day, the eyecare landscape has changed. If seeing the way others are doing things holds no interest for you; if you'd rather continue to do things as they have always been done; and working on actively differentiating your business to make it a special experience for your patients and consumers just seems like too much work, then this issue probably isn't for you. I dare say this industry might not be either. Something to think about.Until next month…Dee email@example.com Smart Tips From This Issue1.

Published 4 months agoon May 2, 2019By Deirdre Carroll I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU all got started in the optical industry but I sort of fell into it. Looking back though, I wonder if it was supposed to happen.I was always a creative kid but I grew up thinking adults got jobs like teacher, lawyer or businessman (not that I knew what businessmen did). So, I decided to be a doctor at 11. I excelled at science and became a candy striper at my local hospital in high school. I vetted the colleges I applied to for their biology and pre-med programs and went to the one with the best reputation that gave me the most money…. And then my first semester, I failed calculus.It wasn't just because I hated math; but also, because it was at 8 a.m. twice a week. That first semester I was a little too "Woo Hoo College!" to drag myself to something as boring as calculus that early with enough regularity to have a passing chance. After that semester, I figured if you needed calculus to be a doctor, maybe I shouldn't be a doctor.I switched majors, hustled, and managed to graduate in four years despite that extremely lackluster semester. But as graduation approached, I was adrift. I didn't want to be a businessperson or go to grad school — the only real options, I thought, for a girl with an average GPA and a B.A. from a liberal arts college. After a little research, I decided to move to NYC, go to fashion school, and get another degree in retail buying. I loved to shop and getting a job shopping for stores and not just myself sounded like heaven.It turns out retail buyer is just a sexy name for businessperson. Most never leave their office and use spreadsheets to analyze what sold well last season just to buy it again in different colors. Yawn.But fashion school did introduce me to a job I had never considered … fashion editor. I started working in magazines before I even graduated and the rest, as they say, is history.Today, I get to blend my interest in medicine, my passion for fashion, and my love of magazines to help you guys be better businesspeople. See? Meant to be.Beginnings are funny like that. Unlike the ECP businesses we highlight in our Big Story on page 40, the start of my career wasn't as deliberate as intended, but for all of us it happened exactly the way it needed to. And looking back, could it really have been any other way?Best wishes for your business,Dee firstname.lastname@example.com Smart Tips From This Issue1. Think graphic designers are overrated?

Although only Time magazine noticed amid the hooplah for the Blu-ray "Lord of the Rings," Martin Scorsese's "The Last Waltz," the movie of The Band's farewell concert that changed the eyes and ears of rockumentaries forever, came out Tuesday on a DVD/Blu-ray two-pack. It's lovingly photographed and recorded, brilliantly conceived and edited. Few films have ever tuned in an audience this closely to the unique rhythms and theatrics of musicians as different as Bob Dylan and Van Morrison. Even Scorsese's interviews harmonize with the performances. He draws out what being on the road meant to the Band, the transplanted Canadian group that revitalized American folk, jazz and R&B forms in a rock idiom.
Rock-concert films had always tended to screech and jitter. But in "The Last Waltz" the sound is both robust and pristine: you can hear a bass roar, or a pin drop. The cinematographer, Michael Chapman, and his virtuoso colleagues (including Vilmos Zsigmond and Laszlo Kovacs) work with impassioned lucidity. The editing fixes each Band member in your mind -- not just Levon Helm or Robbie Robertson or Richard Manuel, but Garth Hudson, who comes off as a cross between a church organist and the Phantom of the Opera, and Rick Danko, who resembles the young Robert De Niro. When all the guests join Dylan and the Band on the climactic "I Shall Be Released," the movie becomes an exhilarating vision of rock's polyglot vitality.
(Left to right, above: Dr. John, Neil Diamond, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Rick Danko, Van Morrison, Bob Dylan and Robbie Robertson.)

Segregation remained a part of life in Mississippi after the Civil War. Not until the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s did change begin. Some of the key events of this movement took place in Mississippi. In 1954 the U.S. Supreme Court decision Brown v. Board of Education called for an end to racial segregation in public schools throughout the United States. The Brown decision directly affected Mississippi, where school segregation had long been required by state law. However, total segregation of all state educational institutions was maintained until 1962, when James Meredith became the first black to enroll in the University of Mississippi. Meredith's enrollment was accomplished only with the help of marshals acting under a federal court order, after Governor Ross Barnett refused to allow it and segregationists rioted on campus. Public schools below the college level were first desegregated in 1964. Mississippi State University, the University of Southern Mississippi, and Millsaps College were desegregated in 1965.
Attempts were made to end segregation in other areas of life. In 1961 the "freedom rides" were organized by a civil rights activist organization, the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), to challenge segregation at interstate bus stations in the South. The freedom rides chartered buses for a trip through the South. They were mobbed and beaten, and one of their buses burned, in Alabama. When they reached Jackson, Mississippi, they were arrested and imprisoned for 45 days at the state penitentiary, thus ending the protest. However, the freedom rides left the strong impression that blacks were willing to subject themselves to violence to end segregation.
Voting by blacks in Mississippi had been suspended by intimidation and violence in 1875 and made difficult by registration requirements, such as the poll tax, in the state constitution of 1890.
Starting in 1961, another activist organization, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), organized voter registration campaigns in heavily-black, rural counties of Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia. In McComb, Mississippi, Robert Moses of SNCC led a registration effort despite constant terrorism. In 1962 and 1963 SNCC worked for voter registration in the Mississippi Delta, where it found local supporters like activist farmworker Fannie Lou Hamer. The rising tide of civil rights protest caused a violent reaction from Mississippi's white supremacists: In June 1963 Medgar Evers, state field secretary for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), was shot dead in front of his Jackson home.
SNCC workers helped organize the Mississippi Summer Project of 1964, an effort to focus national attention on Mississippi's racism by recruiting Northern college students to work in the state. The project drew national scrutiny, especially after three project participants—James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner—were murdered in Neshoba County.
The Summer Project led directly to the creation of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party (MFDP). When white Democrats in Mississippi refused to accept black members in their delegation to the Democratic National Convention, Fannie Lou Hamer and others went to the convention and challenged their right to represent Mississippi. National party officials offered two convention seats to the MFDP delegation, but they rejected the compromise and went home. However, the MFDP challenge later resulted in more openness to blacks and other minorities in the Democratic Party.
Much progress was made in registering black voters after the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The most obvious effect was in the number of political offices opened to black candidates. By 1996, 10 of the 52 members of the Mississippi Senate were black, as were 34 of the 122 members of the House of Representatives. Law enforcement was integrated, and many blacks began to hold local and county positions, both elected and appointed. "Mississippi" © Emmanuel BUCHOT, Encarta, Wikipedia

Predictors of Obesity in a Cohort of Children Enrolled in WIC as Infants and Retained to 3 Years of Age

This longitudinal study of children enrolled as infants in the New York State (NYS) Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) examined predictors of obesity (body mass index ≥ 95th percentile) at 3 years of age. NYS WIC administrative data which included information from parent interviews and measured heights and weights for children were used. All 50,589 children enrolled as infants in WIC between July to December 2008 and July to December 2009 and retained in WIC through age three were included. At 3 years of age, 15.1 % of children were obese. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that children of mothers who received the Full Breastfeeding Food Package when their infant was enrolled in WIC (adjusted OR = 0.52) and children with ≤2 h screen time daily at age 3 (adjusted OR = 0.88) were significantly less likely to be obese (p < 0.001) controlling for race/ethnicity, birth weight, and birthplace. In this cohort of NYS WIC participants, maternal receipt of the Full Breastfeeding Food Package (a surrogate measure of exclusive breastfeeding) is associated with lower levels of obesity in their children at age 3. The relationships between participation in WIC, exclusive breastfeeding, and obesity prevention merit further study.

This is one of a series of autobiographical stories of how people became atheists. The inspiration for it was the idea that one of the reasons we're America's least-trusted minority is that many see the label but not the person behind it. These narratives are intended to show the human face of atheists to those who currently have only a stereotypical and probably negative image of us to go by. Guest writers are encouraged to contribute their stories. Contact me via my Facebook page for more details.
Today's essay is by Christine Brean, 71 years old, a mother of two children and grandmother of six, living in Gardena, California. Before she retired, Christine owned her own woodworking and furniture-manufacturing business.
How I became an atheist – Christine's story
Sometimes something is said and it immediately changes our views on life. Most of the time though, we change our minds slowly. Someone voices an idea and we take it home, mull it over, and add it to our file of interesting things. Later, another thought is ingested and gets added to our mental filing cabinet. If enough of those ideas and thoughts happen we may find ourselves changing our minds. For example, my father supported the Viet Nam War. He was a retired Gung-Ho Marine. It took many, many comments, news reports, demonstrations, and conversations, but eventually he said to me, "I don't think we should be there." I was a college student at the time and I was overjoyed but thought to myself, "What took you so long?" Our worldview may change over time but it hardly ever changes in an instant. Atheism came slowly to me, but I had a worldview change in an instant. It was traumatic and it eventually led to my atheism.
I was born and raised in the South. Charles, a relative, was a railroad fireman (he shoveled coal into the oven which made the heat that ran the engine—that was a long time ago.). Twice a week, from the time I was a toddler to about the age 7, I accompanied my sister (19 years older than me) on a trip to the railroad station to drop-off or pick up Charles. Inside the station were 4 bathrooms and two water fountains so that blacks and whites didn't have to share facilities. As we drove to and from our home to the station, we had to pass by the black section of town too.
In this part of town many of the windows of the homes had cardboard or newspaper on them instead of glass. Others were just holes—no newspaper and no glass. The yards were just dust and dirt without a single green plant although occasionally a house had a tree in the yard. Most houses were built up off the ground (to prevent rain from washing in) so that there were four or five stairs to get to the front porch. Some had wooden steps, others steps of brick. Whether wood or brick the steps were either crooked or broken. I remember wondering how the heck people got up those steps to get to their houses.
There were often old cars and old car parts in the yard along with broken furniture and trash. The paint was pealing off the clapboards and some houses looked like they never had been painted. I can remember hearing my sister say, "How can people live like that?" It was so very different from our home. We had plants in the yard; a large weeping willow gave us lots of shade and there was a playhouse for the kids. None of our bricks were broken and every year some part of the house got painted or oiled. Everything worked and the car was always parked inside the garage. In fact, our garage was ten times in better repair than any of the houses I saw in that "shanty town".
I went to an all-white school and all my friends were white. I remember a conversation the adults had when a black man was accused of some horrible crime. The adults spoke of lynching him and I remember that they concluded that the "Klan" would handle it. The adults figured that "one example would keep them in their place." I was confused by this because they seemed to say it didn't even matter if the accused was guilty; any black man they grabbed would do the trick. They said that "Henry (who was he?) would bring it up at the meeting." Most adult conversations I overheard when I was 6 and 7 I've forgotten, others are vague in my memory, but for some reason, this one "stuck."
I also remember the adults talking about those "idiotic Northern States" (any state not in the South was a Northern State even if it were in the West—so California, Oregon, Arizona, et al., were all Northern States). These states allowed inter-racial marriage. That alone made them idiotic!
This was my childhood. This is what I lived. This is all I knew. This is what structured my worldview. Me and hundreds of thousands of others growing up at the same time all thought alike.
In 1947 my parents and I moved to San Diego while the rest of the family stayed in the South. Entering the elementary school, I went through "culture shock." I was surprised to find that blacks and whites attended the same classes though in the whole school there were only 3 or 4 black children. There were no separate drinking fountains, and blacks were not required to go to the back of the bus. When I questioned my mother about the difference, she told me that "They do things differently here in the North and we have to follow their rules while we're here."
But in some ways California was not all that different than the South. At that time, at least in San Diego County, I saw no black professional people, no black teachers, no black administrators and no blacks in any supervisory jobs. Blacks were the janitors, trash haulers, or maids. As far as I was concerned this was all they were capable of and the people of California seemed to know it. They were just nicer about it by hiding their prejudices.
I entered High School in the 1950's–a time when the Civil Rights Movement was starting and was discussed in Social Studies. My classmates had trouble understanding why the South was so discriminatory. "What was wrong with a black man eating at a white man's cafe?" What did they know–they hadn't lived there. They all assured me that here in California, blacks had equal rights, rightfully so.
Sine I did well in school, I was upset when a black girl–Helen Quigley–constantly got better grades than me. I didn't dare tell my mother that I was being bested by a black girl so I continued to try harder to outdo her.
Helenand I sat next to each other in the Chemistry class. I hated Chemistry—it was so hard and it seemed to come so easy to her. I'd get a 84 in a test and Helen would get a 90. I'd get a 90, she'd get a 92! I was irritated but remained competitive. I was not going to be outdone and, as much as I hated Chemistry, I studied hard to prove I was better than her. It became harder and harder.
The mid-semester Chemistry tests were given. And it was the day that we received those test scores that Helen and I had a conversation that changed my life. After we compared scores and I was once again outdone, she told me she was dropping out. "Why? You are at the top of the class" I responded. She said she had a chance of getting a job where her mother worked—as a maid for a hotel. Then I asked, "You mean you are dropping out of High School?" She confirmed it. That was ridiculous and I told her so. She was a shoe-in for a scholarship. I told her "Why in the world would you want to quit now when college was within reach?" And then she gave me those fateful words—words that hurt as much as if I had been punched in my stomach; words that took my breathe away; words that shocked, dismayed, and destroyed all that I had believed. She said, "Even if I go to college, I will never be anything other than a maid."
I was unable to answer because I had no breath—it was as if I had been punched in the abdomen. It hurt. It hurt so badly that I was speechless. And it hurt because she was right! She was right and I was wrong. I was completely wrong. Wrong in what I thought; wrong in what I had been taught; wrong in what I believed. Here was a black person who was smarter than me—in fact smarter than most–and she deserved a chance. She deserved to contribute, to participate, to enjoy everything as much as everyone else. Yet because of the color of her skin she was to be denied? That was just plain stupid. Stupid. With that one sentence I realized how I and and so many others had condemned a whole group of people for no good reason. Some of us were outright prejudiced; others disguised their prejudices. Obvious or covert, we were wrong. 100 percent wrong. Helen, who was on the receiving end, deserved better– much, much better and it was my stupidity along with millions of others that kept that stupid idea alive. I was wrong. And I had been wrong all along. The words rang in my ears: "Even if I go to college, I will never be anything other than a maid." How could that happen? This was America. At the start of school each day I repeated, ". . . with liberty and justice to all." . This was wrong. Was the whole world nuts? Does everybody say one thing and do another?
My worldview changed in that instant. And it hurt. But it was such an eye opener that I starting thinking, "What other things have I been believing that aren't true? What has been drilled into me, besides Santa Claus, that just isn't true?" I started examining my beliefs.
Because my prejudice disappeared, I was open to new thoughts and the barriers to atheism had been lifted.
Within 10 years California adopted Affirmative Action. It was very necessary then. I have often wondered what became of Helen. I could not have offered her any advise when she dropped out of school. There were no Black Study groups. Although I may have known of George Washington Carver I had no idea how he achieved his fame. I'll bet that even Helen didn't know. Universities started teaching Black History and it gave hope and encouragement to people who were no longer destined to be on the bottom of the ladder. I often hope that life has been better to Helen than what she envisioned back in 1957. At least, I hope her children got to go to college. And I hope her children know of her struggles and her pain. She had been caught in a loop that she felt was fatal. Change was around the corner but we didn't know it yet.
I've tried locating Helen to thank for teaching me such a very important lesson. It's strange how deeply we can affect someone's life with just a few words and never know we made a difference. I can never thank her enough. It's a shame she doesn't know how grateful I am.
The following year I was helping my mother with the annual waxing of the furniture. While working I asked her, "If God knows the future, what good is prayer?" She answered, "Stop asking foolish questions and get back to work." By the time I married I had given up the personal-god idea, much to my family's dismay. That idea didn't make any sense at all. But I still pondered how the world got here. It didn't just pop into existence, did it?
Because I gave up the personal-god idea, my family called me an atheist but I was actually an agnostic. And when my baby was born my sister tried to convince my Mom to help her get the State to declare me an unfit mother. "After all," she said, "how can you raise a child without God in your life—the child won't feel the love of Christ." She wanted to take my daughter and raise her along with her other five god-fearing children. fortunately, it didn't work. I kept my baby. Later, when my daughter was 8 years old, I had an eye-opening conversation with a Rabbi. I inquired, "There must be something that started this universe, yes?" He asked me if I believed the statement, "God always was and always will be." Well, "Yes," I said. He suggested if I could believe that then I could believe "The universe always was and always will be." I walked away from that conversation an atheist. I converted. With the help of a Rabbi , no less!
It was a long struggle but at last I was free. I was free of all the things that were pumped into me because of "tradition" or "custom" or because no one knew of any other way. I was free to think for myself—at long, long last.
I became the black sheep of the family: an atheist that believed in "justice for all." And I'm proud of it.

What's The Magic Behind Quilter Amps?. Quilter Amps Reproduce a Tube Amp's Louse Coupling to the Speaker The output signal of an amplifier drives the speaker. This AC signal passes through the speaker's coil, which is housed in a magnetic cylinder.
Jazzguitar.be. I've had a Quilter Aviator 8" for a couple of years now.It's a good little amp and I use it for all my rehearsals, jams and small gigs. If you're playing loud rock music, you'might want to mic it. It has a warm sound with plenty of bass and clean headroom. The built-in distortion is OK, but I use pedals for that.

Jazzguitar.be. I did not mean that tubes are irrelevant to tone - I am a happy tube amp owner too - and I don't want to divert the thread by reopening the tube vs SS argument. I meant that tube amps are irrelevant to my price objection to the 8" Quilter amp, since you can get a Cube 80XL with a 12" speaker for less than half the price. That wasn't clear to you from the context of my post. It may have been unclear to others too.
Quilter Amps: The Tech Behind The Buzz. All Quilter amps — whether heads or combos — can be plugged into most speaker cabinets, making them super adaptable. Yet Quilter's team wants to push further and "are thinking of ways to support more flexibility in this area." It's hard to imagine how.
Quilter Amps: Amazon.com. I have two of them, and run them in a wet / dry rig for a clean jazz rig. I use tubes amps for dirt, but these things rock the clean tone. You can really sculpt the tone with these amps as well.
The Gear Page. I have been seeing the ads for these amps and find them to be about the most aesthetically un pleasing amps I've ever seen. To the point where it's difficult to take the ad seriously. To the point where it's difficult to take the ad seriously.

- See the ship through the eyes of the crew: By soliciting a sailor's suggestions, Abrashoff drastically reduced tedious chores that provided little additional value.
- Communicate, communicate, communicate: The more Abrashoff communicated the plan, the better the crew's performance. His crew eventually started calling him "Megaphone Mike," since they heard from him so often.
- Create discipline by focusing on purpose: Discipline skyrocketed when Abrashoff's crew believed that what they were doing was important.
- Listen aggressively: After learning that many sailors wanted to use the GI Bill, Abrashoff brought a test official aboard the ship-and held the SATs forty miles off the Iraqi coast.

Republicans threatened by the imminent release of James Comey's memoir have launched a campaign to rebrand the former FBI director as "Lyin' Comey", in apparent hopes that a nickname (and a slapdash website) are enough to rewrite a reputation built on three decades of public service.
No matter that Comey is a Republican who was appointed twice by Republican president George W Bush to top federal posts, or that Comey's career features a catalogue of prosecutions against targets such as crime syndicates, securities crooks and identity fraudsters.
A Methodist convert of Irish descent from New Jersey, Comey made his name cracking down on Virginia gun homicides and prosecuting international terrorism suspects.
Like his three main predecessors as FBI director, Comey is a lawyer, having earned his degree from the University of Chicago in 1985. Now 57, he has alternated in his career between big government jobs and lucrative positions in private practice, including with Lockheed Martin, the defense contractor, and Bridgewater Associates, the world's largest hedge fund, with $103bn in assets under management.
Before he was FBI director, the defining moment in Comey's career came in 2004, when he made a dramatic nighttime hospital-room intervention to stop the George W Bush White House from strong-arming the bedridden attorney general John Ashcroft into reauthorizing a controversial surveillance program. But he remained at the justice department after the program – a bulk collection of Americans' internet metadata – was allowed to move forward under a different legal rubric.
Leading up to his remarkably high-profile role in the 2016 presidential election, Comey had long enjoyed a reputation for fairness and public-minded integrity. "He doesn't care about politics," said Barack Obama upon nominating Comey to run the FBI in 2013. "He only cares about getting the job done."
Eric Holder, the former attorney general, said in 2003: "Jim is a chess player. He's thinking: 'What's the impact going to be one month, two months, six months from now?'"
Fifteen years later, that assessment, of Comey as a far-seeing strategist, has not aged particularly well. In July 2016, the FBI director took the highly unusual step of calling a news conference to discuss an investigation into Hillary Clinton's handling of classified information over unsecured email. With the presidency seemingly at stake, Republicans howled at Comey's announcement that the investigation had yielded no grounds for criminal prosecution. Democrats bridled at Comey's assessment of Clinton's email hygiene as "extremely careless".
The drama was just getting started. In October 2016, just 11 days before the election, the FBI director was back, with a letter notifying Congress that the bureau was examining newly discovered material in its investigation of Clinton's email. That sounded pretty bad for Clinton, and it made headlines across the country in the campaign's home stretch. Then, just two days before the election, Comey sent a final letter, announcing that the new material (which turned out to be mostly old material) contained nothing of prosecutorial significance.
In the eyes of the Clinton camp, the result of Comey's pen pal habit was plain. "James Comey cost her the election," said Bill Clinton.
Donald Trump had a somewhat different take. "I'll tell you what: what he did, he brought back his reputation," Trump told reporters of Comey's October surprise. "He brought it back."
That attitude was not to last. Trump fired Comey as FBI director in June 2017, later saying he was thinking of "this Russia thing" – the investigation into Moscow's interference in the 2016 election and Trump's possible collusion – when he decided to do so. Comey's dismissal set in train Robert Mueller's appointment as special counsel, and the controversy has trailed Trump ever since.
Comey is a father of five and a foster parent, married to his undergraduate sweetheart. He cycles, plays squash and teaches Sunday school.
