Re: lol

Let me see the VF piece when you're done? They usually do the title, right? But I think your idea of "the downfall of a far-right blogger" or "racism is alive and well in the right-wing blogosphere" or something headline-grabbing would make it very web-clicky. Using his name Robert Stacy McCain I don't think is a good enough hook to get mainstream readers to look at it -- you have to be a little more sensational in your titles, even ones that you pitch to VF who you know will probably change it.

Yeah, not going to do the Vanderbilt story for a while, want to talk to a couple more people and get all these notes in order, might not even do it until I finish my book. Almost done with VF article. Also, I talked to that provost last night and got some damning stuff.

Interesting.

But you're writing two pieces, right?

The first original piece you pitched to VF, then an additional piece about the Vanderbilt story?
