Taking Off

Lamont says he's eager to accept any speaking invitation. Here, he addresses a group of almost 100 seniors in New Haven on July 26. "I see this crowd and I want to talk about teenagers, so let me start there," Lamont began. Sure, he's offbeat, but by the end of the speech, members of the group said Lamont was on their side about Social Security, education and the Iraq war.
