QUESTIONS FOR WILLIAM NOVELLI (but evasive answers for NYT readers)


http://www.nytimes.com/2003/12/07/magazine/07QUESTIONS.html


excerpt:

Are you a registered Republican?

I'm a registered Independent. And AARP is a nonpartisan organization. We don't line up with Republicans or Democrats. We line up with seniors.


Have you always been an Independent?

I don't remember. I honestly don't. I may have been a Republican when I was working on the Nixon campaign.


Was Nixon a friend of yours?

I shook his hand. I didn't know him personally. I worked on the November Group, the in-house advertising agency for the re-election of Richard Nixon in 1972.

snip...

Would you care to divulge your annual salary as the head of AARP?

Sure. I earn $420,000 a year. It's terrific. I think my salary is very fair.


Have you invested any of your own money in the health-insurance business?

You mean stocks and bonds? My wife manages that. I honestly don't know.



uh... yeah. right.
