| Description | On January 1, with the rest of the country nursing its collective hangover and preparing for a day of college football, Herb Kirsh '49 will lock himself in a room. He will not leave this room for one full hour. He will sit, and he will think.
"I take inventory of myself--Can I add? Can I subtract? Can I spell? Can
I still talk pretty good?" says Kirsh, a fourteen-term veteran of the South Carolina House of Representatives. "And if I pass that inventory test, then I run."
If he does run next year, he will most likely win--his last three elections have been uncontested--continuing his improbable streak as South Carolina's most curious political anomaly: an unshakeable Democrat in an archly conservative district, who also happens to be the only Jew in the House. Sitcoms get sold on less fantastical ideas. |
