Lamont’s Look
Ned Lamont seemed to catch a break after Boulder, Colo. police decided to drop chares against his lookalike, John Mark Karr, in the JonBenet Ramsey case. But talk about bad luck: Authorities just arrested the country’s most wanted polygamist — and he, too, is channeling a bit of that Ned look. (See here, here and here to judge for yourself). Maybe this is what Joe Lieberman and Karl Rove were discussing during their recent phone call.
"Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief"
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
