What I learned from my terrible, no-good summer internship

What I learned from my terrible, no-good summer internship

By James Prager on May 10, 2020

Unless you’re as focused on your day job as, say, Alabama coach Nick Saban, you’ve known since November 9, 2016 that we would do the whole thing again in November 2020.…
