...pencil, has made Newhouse anathema to many old-line publishers, who consider him an absentee press lord, a businessman only casually interested in the papers themselves. But Newhouse can argue that he cares so much for the autonomy of his papers that he generally leaves editorial matters completely in local hands. A registered Democrat, Newhouse even leaves political stands untouched; e.g., in Syracuse, his Republican Post-Standard scraps with his Democrat-leaning Herald-Journal.

Outstanding teachers from local schools will be released from other duties to supervise M.A.T. interns...

But where such literary antecedents as E.M. Forster's Dr. Aziz and Evelyn Waugh's Emperor Seth burned with a hard heathen shame, Ganesh shoulders the white-collar burden with the happy ease of a born...
