Long night editing. Very tired and heading to bed momentarily.

I did want to share this, though. Some of the stuff we print is actually kind of bad, a lot of it is mediocre-to-good, and some writers are definitely ahead of the curve. But occasionally, we get real gems.

This is one of them.

There are a few holes in the way he uses sources, but his writing structure and sense of style are very strong. That's the kind of thing you can't teach. Quirks of grammar and journalistic style can be learned (not that he's deficient there--he isn't.) but a great sense of timing and flow for the written word just can't, and therefore stuff like this always impresses me. I hope he sticks with this path.
