The resumes for both included their names, addresses, and cell phone numbers.

"Like that vain and narcissistic cad, the 52-pound marble bust was 'a very difficult, cold, aloof, emotionless man that caused some problems for me,' Ms. Young said."
@aaronsibarium@nytimes@FreeBeacon "The Washington Free Beacon reviewed a series of postings to a Facebook group for current and former Times staffers, where a tense debate is unfolding over McNeil's exit...."
@aaronsibarium@nytimes@FreeBeacon "One camp argues that his dismissal was justified and another asserts it set a troubling precedent, which the New York Times union should have done more to prevent."
