"Greensboro we have a problem. Let’s talk about it.

These power brokers meet behind closed doors, or via text message, or in the low spark of hi-end restaurants on a weekday afternoon to hash out the details.

The kind of power brokers that scuttle months of committee work at the moment of completion because it just doesn’t suit their whim....
