NOTES & ASIDES M@ Note to Our Readers:

Effective on January 1, Rich Lowry will be the Editor of NATIONAL REVIEW, taking on the (forlorn) task of matching the standards of his predecessors. We’ll be pass- ing along a fuller portrait of Mr. Lowry in a future issue, restricting ourselves at this point to passing on the bare information, which is that he was born in 1968 in a sub- urb of Washington, D.C., and graduated from the Uni- versity of Virginia, where he edited a conservative month- ly. He went from college to a year’s apprenticeship under Charles Krauthammer, the distinguished columnist, and then to a stint as a newspaper reporter in northern Vir- ginia. He came to NATIONAL REVIEW in 1992 and, after a spell in New York, was dispatched to Washington by John O’Sullivan to serve under Kate O’Beirne. Our read- ers are familiar with his fine political writing. He will be most welcome at the helm of our favorite magazine. Most cordially, WEB @ Dear Mr. Buckley:
