"Mr. President, ... "

Damn That Granger and his Headlines!

I told you before that my upcoming article in Esquire's June issue would be called, "The Leviathan." That was the original call from Mark Warren, my bud the Executive Editor.

David Granger, the Editor in Chief worked the piece over yesterday. Good news is: he liked it a lot. Better news is: he came up with a punchier, more hard-hitting title.

Piece is now entitled (absent further change): "Mr. President, Here's How to Make Sense of Our Iraq Strategy."

That's frank enough, you think?

I just hope Granger's ready to hire me full-time after the piece comes out . . ..
