MEACHAM: 'Here's what I suspect the future is: We've had it backwards. ... We produce a magazine all week, we close it Friday and Saturday, and it begins to go out online ... We have Newsweek.com every day, but [for] 77 years, the emphasis has been on the print. It's probably time to flip that. In which you are solely focused on the digital, and by the end of the week you take the best of, and for people who want to hold a magazine in their hands – and there are people who can still do that ... then you print that magazine. ... This is an existential crisis – and it's not just because ... I feel incredibly strongly that this magazine for 77 years ... has mattered unto the life of the country. It's one of the very few common denominators in a fragmented world. ... I think the country will be poorer for our disappearing. And the good news is we did not close today – we went up for sale.'

MEACHAM: 'Which is gonna be good, 'cause I'm looking for work.'

Archibald the Golfer
- Quote |
- P.G.Wodehouse |
- Humor
Archibald Mealing was one of those golfers in whom desire outruns performance. Nobody could have been more willing than Archibald. He tried, and tried hard. Every morning before he took his bath he would stand in front of his mirror and practise swings. Every night before he went to bed he would read the golden words of some master on the subject of putting, driving, or approaching. Yet on the links most of his time was spent in retrieving lost balls or replacing America.
