Can't get enough of as-of-yesterday retired Times-man Charlie LeDuff? There's a nice little interview over on "Journal-isms ." Seems that Chuck's a little put out that they gave Dan Barry the Crappy Overwriting Across the Country column that by rights should have been his. Also, "I can't write the things I want to say. I want to talk about race, I want to talk about class. I want to talk about the things we should be talking about." See, Charlie knows a little about race, being "one-eighth Native American." And how! "The late 'Gerald Boyd said I was the most diverse person he knows,' LeDuff said. 'And that dude was black.'" Okay, we added that last line. But you know that's what he meant.
