He can write legibly and regularly. All that Bill Emmott managed to do in his 13 year at the helm was double the weekly circulation to well over a million copies a week and make the <em>Economist</em> one of the world's most influential newspapers. Henry, with his preference for quoting Brad DeLong and the <em>Guardian</em>, would soon have those figures down to Crooked Timber readership levels in a matter of weeks.
