In the good news/bad news department, our deputy editor John Podhoretz has been asked to take charge of the editorial and op-ed pages of the New York Post, a responsibility he will assume in a few weeks. Needless to say their gain is our loss, or partial loss. He will continue to write frequently for us as a contributing editor. One of the founders of THE WEEKLY STANDARD, John has been an invaluable part of the magazine. We expect that his impact there, if at all comparable to what he has accomplished here, will be spectacular, and we wish him all the best.
