This issue is the first under the direction of our new managing editor, Lauren Wilson. A graduate of the University of Dallas, Lauren worked at Public Discourse, the Witherspoon Institute’s fine online journal, and more recently the Philanthropy Roundtable. She’s cool under fire, and I can report from personal experience that she’s the sort of managing editor who knows how to manage editors. We’re very happy to have her on our team.
We are also fortunate to have two summer fellows this year: Sebastian White, O.P., on loan from the Dominican House of Studies, and Sasha Tatasciore, living here in New York for the summer before returning to graduate study at Duke. Thanks, Brother Sebastian and Sasha.
