| Page 269: | "There was a tension between the urgent imperative to reduce America's dependence on fossil fuels, especially coal, that were the main cause of climate change and the need to help the communities whose livelihoods had long depended on producing those fuels." |
| Missing comma or word order: S/B "fossil fuels that were the main cause of climate change, especially coal, and the need to help the communities". (I like fixing the word order better.) |
| Page 277: | "In an economy where most women don't have any choice but to work and few men earn enough to support a family on their own, traditional gender roles get redefined." |
| Phrase order: S/B "where few men earn enough to support a family on their own and most women don't have any choice but to work". |
| Page 290: | "And it wasn't healthy or productive to dwell on the ways I felt I'd been shivved by then-FBI Director Jim Comey..." |
| Word choice: S/B "shanked". It may be overly pedantic, but I feel this is more in keeping with current usage. This blog appears to agree with me. |
| Page 329: | "...but I felt that if the United States accepted a gag order on these issues, that decision would reverberate, not just in Russia but around the world." |
| Unneeded comma: S/B "would reverberate not just in Russia". |
| Page 336: | "To build Trump SoHo New York hotel..." |
| Missing article: S/B "the Trump SoHo New York". |
| Page 340: | "Instead, we were now dealing with a divided party and distracted press corps." |
| Missing article: S/B "a divided party and a distracted press corps". |
| Page 347: | "But given what had happened already, who knew what other dirty tricks were coming our way." |
| Punctuation: S/B "were coming our way?". A question should end in a question mark. |
| Page 418: | Quote: "An unnamed senior Trump campaign official boasted to the press in late October 2016 that 'we have three major voter suppression operations underway,' aimed at white liberals, young women, and African Americans." |
| Missing space: S/B "under way". |
