...transition--possibly preluding the government to follow--has been a gargantuan monster slowly trudging through swamps of paper, still unsteady and trying to find its bearing. And don't let anyone fool you: The transition isn't over; it's still revving up. But it has all dragged on too long for at least one candidate for an administration post. Back in November--and again in December and January--Chris DeMuth's name kept popping up on lists of people to head the EPA. As far as he knows, he's still under consideration.

His effects are startling in their range and complexity. Trevor can be sharply funny, as in his description of a television director: "Attired in what appeared to be the garb of a plumber but which closer examination revealed to be a fashionable variation of such workman's clothing: his dungarees were of fawn corduroy, his shirt of red and blue lumberjack checks. He wore boots that...
