FILLING THAT WHICH NATURE ABHORS (via John Resnick)

Mag plan in bloom for ex-Clinton aide (NY Daily News, July 22nd, 2003)

Fresh from a four-week run on The New York Times best-seller list, Sidney Blumenthal can now focus attention on his magazine idea.

But not just any magazine.

Blumenthal would be the editor of a weekly U.S. mag planned by The Guardian, the liberal and influential British newspaper. [...]

Blumenthal, who was the Washington correspondent for The New Yorker before he joined the Clinton administration in 1997, said: "I've been talking about that [magazine idea] for 25 years with my friends."

Without indicating that his idea has since become linked with The Guardian, he added: "I think there's a big vacuum."

We'll go out on a limb and guess that Christopher Hitchens won't write for this Guardian. Posted by Orrin Judd at July 22, 2003 9:54 PM
