Still, it's a fitting setting for the gritty brand of journalism practiced by the site that bills itself as an on-demand entertainment news network. Its 25 staffers are led by managing editor Harvey Levin, an Emmy-award-winning former legal affairs and investigative reporter for the Los Angeles CBS and NBC affiliates and creator of the syndicated show Celebrity Justice...

Last year for the first time, Harvey began requiring precise monthly figures on how many employees the service had. Then he gave commanders the responsibility of scrutinizing every new hire. Largely through attrition, the Army recorded a mere 2.6% increase in civilian employees in 2005. And Harvey did his part: his office now has 30% fewer than when he took...
