With this issue we give a name and an editor to our cultural pages. Books & Arts will be the rubric for our expanded coverage of literature, biography, philosophy, history, art, movies, television, etc. The section’s editor is Christopher Caldwell, who has been a senior writer here since the inception of THE WEEKLY STANDARD. Among his many provocative articles were cover stories on the feminization of America and why O. J. Simpson continues to haunt us. (Plus Chris sits in his office and reads French novels — in French!)
We are also pleased to add Brit Hume to our roster of contributing editors. Now the Washington managing editor of Fox News, Brit began his career as a newspaperman at the Hartford Times and worked for Jack Anderson before joining ABC News in 1973. He has contributed articles to the American Spectator and the New Republic and writes a widely syndicated column on personal computers.
