Departures
More very, very late Christmas gifts in the news today:
Delay's resignation is good news for the enemies of corruption, but not a full victory - by waiting until after the primary, he's set himself up to continue influencing matters, as his successor will be his own, hand-picked choice.
In other bittersweet news, President Trachtenberg is also on his way out, but not until 2007. Rumblings have been that the board is not terribly pleased with his fundraising of late, and so the disinterest in re-upping his contract may not be his own.

Trachtie gossip abounds, but the truth is he's just getting old. There's no story. 30 is a nice even number, and he and his wife have been planning their retirements for a while now. On the bright side, it gives him more time to play golf, get drunk, and buy statues!
