It includes an article on Trump's relationship with Roy Cohn. It had this memorable quote:
For author Sam Roberts, the essence of Cohns influence on Trump was the triad: Roy was a master of situational immorality . . . . He worked with a three-dimensional strategy, which was: 1. Never settle, never surrender. 2. Counter-attack, counter-sue immediately. 3. No matter what happens, no matter how deeply into the muck you get, claim victory and never admit defeat. As columnist Liz Smith once observed, Donald lost his moral compass when he made an alliance with Roy Cohn.

Oh...I thought you said Cohen.
As Billy Crystal says, "I have lawyers who have lawyers."
Sorry. Carry on.

I devoured it in one sitting. I subscribed for the great anti-Trump stuff, and this issue doesn't disappoint!
