Quote of the Day

“High-level editors at Condé Nast said that a decision by the company to hire the consulting firm McKinsey & Company to review how things are done at the magazines — presumably with the objective of improving efficiency and saving money — has made staffers nervous. ‘That sent shudders, of course,’ an editor said. ‘It’s the fear of the great unknown: What if their consultants really question the culture we live in at Condé Nast?’” - Cathy Horyn on the changing times at 4 Times Square and how The September Issue will be a reminder of much happier times. They’ve already lost their newspaper subscriptions and receptionists…whatever could be next?

The Conde culture should be questioned. Le sigh. What's wrong with scaling back a bit? Even if it's just to "seem" in touch with reality. Take a yellow cab (it's much cheaper than having a hired driver at your beck and call for $300 a day).
