I have already mentioned how much we all depend upon Linda Greenhouse’s tremendous abilities in covering the Supreme Court for the NY Times and how difficult it will be to fill her shoes.
So I was very happy to read that her Times colleague, Adam Liptak, is going to succeed her on the beat. Adam is very sharp, knowledgeable across a broad range of legal issues, and through his sidebar column especially has shown himself to be an engaging writer. He’s quite a worthy successor to Linda. Good luck, Adam.
