Judith Warner on what her family will do when journalism dies:
"We’d pretty much settled upon a future in which Max would teach “Candide” and I’d ghostwrite students’ college application essays. Then he came home with those perfectly shot paper bull’s-eyes.And whole new landscapes of opportunity opened before me.
