...charge of marketing the new Xbox. Moore knew that whatever has made Microsoft successful thus far wouldn't help it here. And Gates seems to recognize that too. "[The games industry] expects us to act like Microsoft: very formulaic, very product oriented, very march-down-the-straight-path," Moore says. "Bill is very important to us, but he's not driving this thing. God bless him, I think he wants to be more a part of it than we actually, you know, feel comfortable with...

...secrets of the magazine's success can be found in A Matter of Opinion (Farrar, Straus & Giroux; 458 pages), Victor Navasky's hefty memoir of a quarter-century at the Nation--first as its editor and, since 1994, its publisher and part owner. In tracing the colorful path of his career, which included founding the opinion journal the Monocle and stints as a writer and an editor at the New York Times, Navasky defends the relevance of ideological magazines across the political spectrum. "To me the problem is too little opinion, not too much," he writes, arguing that some periodicals...
