Alas, you're wrong. His first name is Josiah, but no one calls him that. But good guess.

His full name is Josiah Quinn Crowninshield Bradlee, which is pretty pretentious, but then, who isn't?
And his coming-of-age story is pretty hilarious.

On Dave Eggers Still Can't Figure Out Magazines, God Bless
Subscription price for Gourmet was no where near $50. The price for new subscriptions was in the $12 range. Renewals paid more, maybe $18 per year. Also, many of the subscriptions came from subscription agents that kept a large part of the subscription price so Gourmet only got a small portion of the $12. Gourmet did not generate anywhere enough circulation revenues to pay for the content that was created and distributed. Ruth R. spent $$ like water--stories and spreads killed at last minute, travel expenses paid lavishly, etc. Unsound way to run a profitable mag, esp, with free content online.
Conde Nast isn't giving up brand, logo, etc. for free.

My favorite part was that the NYT TV writer, Virginia Heffernan, believed Bree was real. Says a great deal about the level of thinking at that paper.

On How Many Of Your Tax Dollars Go To ACORN?
But who believes the annual report? The place is riddled with corruption, pays people nothing (in CA, ACORN sued and lost in an attempt to pay under minimum wage) and encourages people to stay on the dole. Wipe it away.
