In that moment, September 17, 2007, Andrew William Meyer, a lone soldier in the fight to uncover the truth behind the corrupt 2004 electoral process, challenged a force so glistening with power and dripping with intimidation, that even the most-svelte of Yale’s rowing captains have dropped to their knees in submission.
