"The Dynasty’s Forgotten Kick-Starter"

"With little money and needing work (and lacking a college degree), Romney saw an ad for a stenography job with the address of the Senate Office Building. He managed to score an interview with Walsh and land the position. But there was a problem: He wasn’t a stenographer.
"It took Walsh all of two days to discover his new aide couldn’t take dictation. But rather than dismiss Romney, Walsh allowed him to swap roles with another man in the office."

John R. Bohrer in New York discusses Sen. David I. Walsh, who gave George Romney a big break in 1929.

And in an article at Buzzfeed, Bohrer portrays George Romney's political career in the 1960s.

Michael Barbaro in The New York Times reports on criticism of Mitt Romney by a longtime George Romney associate.
