It is two daggers and the more that I google the reason that the New York Times book list put those daggers there, and the fact that this is a formal, public action, makes me think that this story could cause a minor scandal.
This is definitely a Romney story worth following, with his history of being a compulsive liar and a Machiavellian character, it will be interesting to see how this plays out.
If you look at the previous weeks, there are many books with daggers next to them. So what I want to know is what exactly that means, in terms of numbers and amounts, without putting our own context into it on a political thread like this one.
