...Rachel had a nickel for everytime someone had referred to her wit as “dry,” well, she’d be damn rich. As it stands, Rachel’s the one FM editors run to with their bland headlines and painful puns. Equally adept at counseling overwrought writers and overwritten prose, Rachel is master of every FM domain and her sparkling leadership will be sorely missed next year...
...important thing to know about Liz is that her room is a fire hazard. Or at least it was last year (I haven’t been to the Quad in a while). She’s got old issues of FM in one corner and an imposing stack of other glossies—W and Elle mixed with the The Economist and The New Republic and the like—an appropriate combination of perfume samples and politics.

It’s actually amazing to watch her thought process, which after working on more than three dozen issues together, I’ve come to understand and (almost) anticipate. There are few people with whom I can sufficiently communicate with a simple look, a knowing smile or vague...
