The best quote, though, comes from Simon Dumenco, who is hilarious and frank in his summation of the two: "It occurred to me that he is the soul -- the very moral center -- of the magazine business laid bare," Mr. Dumenco said. "Other grandees, like Jann, try to disguise their ruthlessness with charm and smoke and mirrors, but Kent, God love him, just lets it hang out. My nickname for him was Dr. Evil because there is actually an admirably playful edge to his evilness." The new, as-yet unnamed, mag will be a "one-stop read for busy women," aimed at being a younger/hipper People with "elements from Real Simple, Lucky and Us Weekly." Email This Post |
