[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Mark W. Hemphill Antigates: I have no reason to believe from talking with Don that his leaving The Post is anything other than exactly what he said it was. Your premise WOULD be more dramatic, wouldn't it? but I'm afraid organizations are rarely that clever or calculating. Large-organization decisions are almost always highly political, but almost always are internally so and self-centered, driven by personal failures and weaknesses that are rationalized by blaming the people who are not in charge. Look around at the organizations you have been involved in -- school, church, job -- and ask yourself if it ever reacted to anything other than its own problems and weaknesses. Good leaders accept leadership as a responsibility rather than a rank, surround themselves with talented people, and do not blame others when things go wrong. [/quote] Mark, Well, that is why I said "wonder". Thanks for the additional insight in context of "after talking with him" that suggests such is not the case. After reading Mr Phillips commentary on Trent Lott in then Feb 2003 issue of trains, then following the way the Washington power structure crushed Mr Lott, it would seem that folks in high places follow his writings very closely. That or it was uncanny coincidence.. In any event the fact that Mr Phillips' writing will continue in Trains magazine is a definite "win" for the readers of Trains. I also find great enjoyment reading Larry Kaufmann in your magazine, his tough "Lets take the gloves off" approach is most refreshing
