There’s a nice brief write-up about my old friend Tevi Troy in the current National Journal (No link: behind concrete firewall). It’s about Tevi’s chances of replacing Claude Allen as Senior Policy Guy. Tevi was Allen’s Deputy. The White House could do a lot worse than give him the top job. I’d give him a more ringing endorsement, but that might hurt his chances. An excerpt:

Seen as a long shot, Tevi Troy, Allen’s deputy, could be a
contender. Pluses? Troy knows Bush’s policy portfolio and was a
2004 campaigner; he worked for John Ashcroft and the American
Enterprise Institute; he has the energy of someone still shy of
40 and the mind of a long-range thinker (in 2002, he published
Intellectuals and the American Presidency); and he’s a New
Yorker with a Ph.D. from the University of Texas. Troy is also
politically plugged in from his days as a Bush liaison to the
Jewish community.
