Heads turned at Michael's yesterday as I sat down with Diane Clehane of AdWeek's "FishbowlNY" and Lisa Linden to explain why print is here to stay. Diane writes:

I was joined today by James Panero, executive editor of The New Criterion. Our mutual friend, Lisa Linden, CEO of LAK PR, arranged our get-together. James and his wife, poet Dara Mandle  author of the new book, Tobacco Hour, live in the same storied building that Lisa calls home. When she suggested I meet James, she described him as “fabulous, fascinating … a quintessential New York star.” I wasn’t disappointed...

“We haven’t changed the look of the magazine in 34 years and it’s helped us,” James told me. “We haven’t had to do a redesign, we got it right the first time."

Here is Diane's full account of our print-power luncheon.

The Architecture of Place

James writes:

What's so bad about fitting in? Why does contemporary architecture often stand in opposition to its own build environment? I sat down with Steven Semes, the director of historical preservation at Notre Dame, to discuss these issues and more as he advocates for an "architecture of place" over the Zeitgeist of an "architecture of time." This fascinating online discussion is a first (for me!), available here in both video and audio formats.
