The new (or old?) "whatever . . ."

[Joel S. Berson]

"Lamont ... spins through gatherings at breakneck speed, eager to
shake hands and deliver smiles. He is courteous though sometimes
brusque, clipping off conversations by saying, 'anyway . . .' and moving on."

Boston Globe, August 7, 2006, A7/1, article on tomorrow's Democratic
primary election in Connecticut.
