These source excerpts show how Schweitzer appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.

  1. But only if one forgets that Mr. Tester is 50 years old, he’s seasoned in state politics, he ran a canny, gloves-off campaign, and he’s the kind of charismatic, hard-to-peg, Western neopopulist (like his friend, Gov.
