rip, louis auchincloss
Louis Auchincloss, someone that neither you nor I have ever heard of until today, passed away on Tuesday. Why do we care?
“The fact that I was a Wall Street lawyer, a registered Republican, and a social registrite was quite enough for half the people of any one party to cross me off as a kind of duckbilled platypus, not to be taken seriously.”
Because he was a platypus, that’s why.
Happy Friday!
