Jonah:

Though I’ll confess to reading the foreign news in the NY Times, it’s been

years — actually, come to look at it, *decades* — since I paid much

attention to the Op-Ed page. I think of it vaguely as a sort of elephant’s

graveyard for burned-out pundits. Is it not so? Can you recall a single

thing that Anthony Lewis wrote in his last, oh, 20 years on that page? Tom

Wicker? See what I mean?

Hang on a minute, there’s someone on the phone here… Sorry? David

who?….
