About this author

Unbeknownst to her dissertation committee, TR Verten was really a spy in the house of academia.

“Every day we're told that we live in the greatest country on earth. And it's always stated as an undeniable fact: Leos are born between July 23 and August 22, fitted queen-size sheets measure sixty by eighty inches, and America is the greatest country on earth.
