Bon mot of the week

When did you drop in, Moonie? It must have been pretty late in New York! Although not as late as the 4.44AM that the timestamp says. (You realise that's a particularly ill-starred number in China? "Die, die, die!")

I got the impression that Robert's management style was "enlightened despotism". Demanding and often enragingly inconsistent... but mostly hands-off?

Your shit with your designer and your fellow editors isn't really a management issue, is it?
