| O'Connor has help from two young assistants.1 Chris, a student from Boston who is going to Seton Hall, started in May 2002. Abigail Trebilcock (above) started June 1. She graduated from UVM on May 19 with a major in history and a minor in political science; in her final semester she interned in Gov. Dean's office. Her first task upon arriving was to get the data base in order. Trebilcock said that the recent New Republic article on Dean (July 1, 2002 cover date) triggered a lot of interest; when people call she takes down their information. | |
