I’m not even familiar with my own thinking, so I loved this bit of tortured sourcing about possible successors to Len Downie at the Washington Post:

A source familiar with [Marcus] Brauchli’s thinking says he is eager to return to editing a newspaper, two months after being pressured into resigning from the [Wall Street] Journal, while another source, who has spoken to [Jon] Meacham about the Post job, says the Newsweek editor, having recently presided over his own painful round of staff cuts, is less than enthusiastic about the prospect of a job where more such downsizing would almost certainly be required.
