@cfishman I started in 1997 in the Baltimore Sun's Howard County bureau. There were 12 reporters. Two editors. For Howard County! We had two education reporters. The Post's metro staff in 2004, when I arrived, was sizable. Each county had ed, govt, cops, courts, development reporters

In 1983, I was assigned to the Fairfax Bureau of the Washington Post. There were 14 of us — 12 reporters & 2 support staff. In an office right across from the courthouse & the county office building. It was an office packed with crazy talent: —>

Book Section was my first read every Sunday. Added so much to the paper’s brand, was a great fit for (what should be) their target audience and mission. Despicable.

A U.S. agent tried to flip Nicolás Maduro’s pilot — offering riches if he secretly flew Venezuela’s leader into U.S. custody. The failed plan, which reads like a Cold War spy novel, shows how far the U.S. has gone to oust Maduro. apnews.com/article/dhs-pl…
