NY Times op-ed columnist Frank Rich, perhaps the most consistent voice of reason at the Grey Lady these days, writes at the
end of this week's column that he's taking a book leave.
He writes:
To my readers: Starting next week, I will be on a book leave, writing nonfiction about our post-9/11 fictions. See you in the spring.
We'll miss you, Frank. But we'll look forward to reading the book!
