I was on significant financial aid, an only child, with parents who didn't have much living in North Carolina.
What's really interesting is the introduction of the tablet - not just the iPad, but the Nook and the Kindle. While they aren't going to solve all of our problems, I do think they make it easier for people to pause, linger, read and really process very important ideas.
Maybe it is because of Facebook or something else, but I have been interested in journalism for a long time.
Many of us get our news from social networks, blogs, and daily aggregators.
I think Twitter is great.
Buzz is not what I am looking for.
Five to 10 years from now, if not sooner, the vast majority of 'The New Republic' readers are likely to be reading it on a tablet.
I think there's an important difference between the newspaper and a magazine. I view the role of the magazine as providing the deeper reporting and the thoughtful analysis to help you make sense of why that news is important.
As a child I wanted to become an architect.
