Howell Raines To Join Portfolio

Washington Post:

Nearly five years after he was forced to resign as the top editor of the New York Times, Howell Raines is taking on a new role: media critic.

From his home in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains, Raines, 64, sounds a bit mellowed: "It's been refreshing and a bit daunting to try to think about writing something that hasn't been said 30 times. I don't have any thunderbolts to throw at my former profession." He plans to focus on campaign coverage.

I,along with hundreds, attended Ensley High School, with Hoiwell Raines. I've read all his books and wish him well in his future endeavors.
