Not quite sure that this personnel shift from a 62-year-old Boomer to a 57-year-old Boomer justifies front-page coverage (!) but I am wondering if this means the paper will replace the three editorial cartoonist staff jobs it simultaneously eliminated while caving into McCarthyism in the 1950s? With interest that makes eight.
