NRO is a well-oiled machine, in which all concerned–editors, webbies,
advertisers, agents, and of course us ink-stained “content providers”–all
have parts to play. I don’t think it is invidious to observe, though, that
the site would not be what it is, or anything LIKE what it is, without the
tireless efforts of Kathy Lopez. She is with NRO 24/7. When anything
happens–most recently, the capture of Saddam, but most memorably on
9/11–it’s from Kathy that we get the phone call or email. On top of all
that, she yet manages to make important editorial contributions to the print
NR, as well as doing signed articles for other magazines (like this one) and occasional TV appearances. And on top
of all THAT, she is never anything but cheerful and helpful. I’ve known
Kathy for close to 4 years, and have never once seen her with an attitude,
though I have given her good cause once or twice. I wish her joy and
contentment on her Christmas break, with no untoward events to pull her back
to the keyboard. And… THANK YOU, KATHRYN!
