Ask and ye shall receive. The Post's Keith Kelly handicaps the contenders for the NYT Mag position. Slate's Jacob Weisberg denies that he's interested—which is his job, unless he has a contract. NYT Metro editor Jonathan Landman has been rumored for weeks to be a top candidate (I don't buy it, either) and Kelly asks if leaving Metro for the magazine is a promotion. (METRO?! I'd say YES.) Other candidates: SPY co-founder/ex-NY Mag editor/Gawker fixation Kurt Andersen, New Yorker editorial director Henry Finder, current editorial director Gerry Marzorati (probably the leading candidate), and story editor Paul Tough.
