[Mb-civic] COUNT 'EM - by Hendrik Hertzberg - in The New Yorker

[George R. Milman]

Last Thursday morning, in one of the smaller function rooms at the National
Press Club, in Washington, an ad-hoc bunch of amateurs, once-weres,
might-bes, and goo-goos floated an initiative that, with a little luck,
could enable our ramshackle republic to take a long, and long overdue, step
toward a more perfect union. The idea behind their initiative is this: that
the President of the United States should be elected by the people of the
United States.
