Our Gang

“WRITE something light, witty, and charming about the staff—and keep it real short.” Those are my instructions. So would you like to hear something 1, w, and c about the staff—“real short”? Okay, here it is.

I’ll take a little mental tour of the office, or at least the editorial side of it (as distinct from the business side, which makes corporate America shake). In the office next to mine is Kathryn Lopez, associate editor, a native New Yorker. She was graduated from the Dominican Academy on the Upper East Side, and there she was named “All Dominican Girl.” Boy, does she rue the day she let that one slip. Some of us refer to her as “Kathryn Lopez, ADG,” which she hates. Too bad.
