    There was a short rainbow-y period there when it looked like people of color would actually be invited to the table on the regular. Then the idealism dimmed and the spectrum of guests is presently back to monochrome. Charmed, I'm sure.

    Besides Clarence Page, don't forget MSNBC's "Pulitzer-Prize-winning-columnist-for-the-Washington-Post-Eugene-Robinson." (Gene is great, guys, but give it a rest already!)

    Not only is the NYT magazine font more "condensed," as their editors note put it, but I swear they reduced the point size, which given their aging readership might be a problem.

    @Hey_mikey: If you've negotiated yourself some sweet royalty deals in lieu of flat fees, then I'd estimate that you pretty much own the Western Hemisphere by now.

    I for one welcome our new photogenic overlord.

    Wellllll, if one wants to be optimistic, one could say that at least they didn't Photoshop the black guy OUT ...

    But I'm not optimistic. This is just creepy.

    The proportions are all wrong, and the light source is entirely different. The others have sunlight from above; he has light from the front, it seems.

    Without getting into a pomo discussion about how "race" is a false construct, can I say that the first guy could qualify as black if he wanted to, at least in that photo? I'm not sure why they didn't just Photoshop his skin color if they wanted someone blacker.
