"Then Diller chimed in. “Why even have a front of the book?” he said. “Why not just start with the well? And why even have a table of contents?"
This is a key thing to understand about magazine editors. They’re always judged on their magazines — on the quality of the product put out by their staffers. But managing down is only half the job. You also have to manage up, and across — you need to have a great relationship with your publisher, and also you need to have a great relationship with your proprietor. Otherwise you will fail. I wonder how much time Tina spends managing Barry, for instance.

From what I understand, he’s on board and doesn’t care too much…. for now. He’s got the cash, and Tina’s fun. Barry’s main interest is in planning lunch menus. (Seriously. MENUS. Someone needs to ask him about food.)
