National Journal to suspend…

David Bradley,  chairman of Atlantic Media,  has told staff that the weekly magazine would move “the whole of its journalism to the higher-velocity work of our daily publications,  National Journal Daily and Hotline,  and to our hour-by-hour coverage on NationalJournal.com.”

I find it unusual that he  blamed himself  for NJ’s failure,  since most CEO’s avoid responsibility for failure,  but I agree that today’s high-paced news cycle greatly diminishes the value of a weekly publication.

George H. W. Bush falls…

Even a former President of the United States is subject to the infirmities of old age,  but you need not be old to experience  balance problems.   In Mr. Bush’s case,  his Parkinson’s disease was probably a contributing factor.   I wish a speedy recovery for this good and decent man.

UPDATE:  President Bush has been  discharged  from the hospital to recover at home.
