Evolved, because theres such a rich history and what you see and hope for moving forward. I was talking to tim about this earlier coming in. So the print, i want to say the print is the median age is probablily early 60s. We Just Launched a new website the main demographic at thenation. Com is 25 to 34. The continuity in change, the ability to bring people in and i mean, i want subscribers who are 105 and i want readers who are 12, and we had writers who are 13 and writers who are 104. So i think thats a great span, and its complicated, because i remember tom frank, many years ago did a cover story for us, what is hip . And i got angry calls, this is years ago. Richard was sitting anyway, what do you mean . What about my Health Insurance program . [ laughter ] so we got straddled.

Report from occupied territory where he laid out issues were grappling today, stop and frisk, alienated communities, Police Brutality. These are back and its incumbent upon the nation i think to have debates about where these different moments come together and diverge. I totally agree, and i would add, this is another example, because i go with katrina on the cruises fundraising cruise, we had a panel and Jesse Jackson was on this, the beginning of this cruise, and he got off the ship after the first half, and on the panel, our columnist eric walterman, who is a very smart person, who goes out of his way, i keep telling him, to make unnecessary enemies. I love eric, and hes a really good writer, and i look forward to his column regularly. Eric said after jesse was off the boat, just in passing on this panel, im very glad that the first black president obama had been elected was not Jesse Jackson but was barack obama.

But we needed 1 million in order to go into business because it was losing a certain amount of money every year. I had told ham, its useless if you dont have an option because who knows what will happen. So edgar came to a meeting with ralph nader, a man named ping ferry, who is a marvelous guy, and his wife, and ham and me, to get the option. They spoke eloquently, with edgar leading the way on why he ought to give the option and how, et cetera. So they had a funeral this morning for the family, and what i said there is i blame edgar for the next 20 years of my life, because he was as responsible as anyone else for my getting there.
