ATTICUS?:
Going Mad in Herds (MAUREEN DOWD, 8/22/10, NY Times)
At the Bunch of Grapes bookstore on Martha’s Vineyard, the sojourning President Obama bought a few books, including “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee. It was for his daughter, but it may have also conjured a sweet memory for the beleaguered president. Only a couple of years ago, when he was campaigning, Obama inspired comparisons with the noble lawyer Atticus Finch.
If he's a character from the book, he's Dill, the effete intellectual poseur.
