Seth Lipsky on The Constitution

James Taranto of The Wall Street Journal has a fantastic interview with my old boss, Seth Lipsky.

When The Sun closed down last year, I wrote this post about how much I learned from Mr. Seth Lipsky. At the time, I complimented him on the breathtaking, all purpose style guide he had written. Now it appears he has written a book, The Citizen's Constitution: An Annotated Guide, that seeks to do for civics what his style guide has done for journalist writing.

Naturally, the people ought to be reading this book are the reporters and editorialists who seldom think of the document which upholds their liberty. For alumni of the New York Sun, we got our education straight from Mr. Lipsky himself, but still I may purchase a copy of the book, if for no other reason than it helps to have a refresher course.
