Fighting Dirty

“You can either win ugly or lose pretty.” That’s what lobbyist Richard Berman told a room full of oil and gas execs earlier this year.

He earned his nickname "Dr. Evil" for his attacks on food watchdog groups, animal rights activists, and even Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Someone needs to zip it. New York Times
