...Number Place (whose unacknowledged constructor, Shortz later determined, was Howard Garns, a retired architect from Indianapolis) ran once in a while in the Dell magazines, as well in the much slicker, savvier Games magazine, of which Shortz was an editor. The puzzle also ran in the magazines of Penny Press, a Norwalk, Ct., outfit that had the smarts to hire as editors some of the bright young folks from Games. The Penny Press magazines contained a more attractive mix of posers, and I found myself spending much more time with each issue of, say, Variety Puzzles, than with Pencil Puzzles...
...Rove critics refused to give him his day. Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean said in a news release that Rove "does not belong in the White House." His statement continued: "If the President valued America more than he valued his connection with Karl Rove, Karl Rove would have been fired a long time ago." Christopher Wolf, lawyer for the Wilsons, issued a statement asserting that Fitzgerald's decision "obviously does not end the matter." The couple have long talked about seeking civil damages from officials involved in the case, and Wolf's statement concluded: "The day still may come...
More than two years ago, after Howard Dean's presidential campaign crashed and burned in the Iowa primary, the conventional wisdom was that his enthusiastic Internet supporters may have been able to raise millions online, but didn't pack much political power. When Dean invited them to knock on doors and make phones calls in Iowa in the final days of the primary, their rabid enthusiasm seemed to turn off Iowans - he lost there, and in 25 straight primaries. And once Dean's campaign died, the liberal bloggers' role in the presidential election was much smaller...
...beating Lieberman would be important for bloggers not just because he's a pro-war Democrat they hate. The bloggers, for all the attention they get from potential President candidates, are often ignored in Washington for the same reason their champion Howard Dean is: they haven't won anything. In 2004, Daily Kos aggressively pushed and raised money for 15 congressional candidates; all of them lost. (To be fair, the blog got involved in some of the campaigns because they were long shots.) "If I had their record, I wouldn't be eating right now," said one veteran Democratic consultant...
...would be easy enough to pander. Howard Dean, chairman of the DNC, had earlier given a red-meat speech that had the crowd roaring up for a standing ovation multiple times, despite the early hour (8:30 a.m.) and all those hangovers. He told the assembled activists that the DNC now has an "Internet department" where "we read you every day;" he thundered against Republican "sleazebags" and joked about how he would not be so welcome at a "quote 'mainstream press' event." Indeed, bashing the traditional press became such a reliable applause line that its invocation became like Catskills comedian...
