When I took over 'The New Yorker,' there was a very, very good, smart staff in place.
Obama fans become more and more glum that he keeps flubbing the very role he was expected to be so good at: Therapist to the nation. The Great Comforter.
It's actually harder than it looks to be a good pundit on the air. You've got to have stuff to say.
When George W. Bush hit the campaign trail in 2000, the precious possession he brought with him from home was his personal feather pillow. The theme of the Bush years was obliviousness.

Some weddings take longer to plan than others.
Beast Books will be longer than conventional long-form magazine articles but shorter than conventional nonfiction books. They will be published digitally and distributed on multiple platforms, and will soon thereafter be available as handy paperbacks.
Washington's Alfalfa Club dinner is a populist's nightmare.
It feels awesome to have him home. There was an emptiness while he was gone.
You can get an interview with anyone overseas on the basis of being part of 'Newsweek.' It still has a great deal of impact.
