The New York Times has an article today, Bush Nominee for Archivist Is Criticized for His Secrecy, on the controversy over the Bush administration's attempt to replace the Archivist of the US before he is willing to go.
The NYT item has lots about the prospective nominee, some positive, some not so positive. What it lacks is discussion of the timing issues that might motivate an administration to want to have its tame Archivist in office quickly. For those, please see last Saturday's blog item, Politicizing the Archives.
