Large and white; clean and bright

What is Edelman doing to repair the mess of the last couple of weeks? (Edelman, at the very least, sanc­tioned the undeclared spon­sor­ship of a blog about trav­el­ling round the US and staying in their client’s, Wal-Mart’s, carparks. It also goes further). Richard Edelman posts tonight about a new series of initiatives:
