Franklin Foer has been named the new editor of The New Republic, replacing Peter Beinart, who will remain at the magazine as a writer. Beinart is also the author of the upcoming "The Good Fight : Why Liberals---and Only Liberals---Can Win the War on Terror and Make America Great Again," which is the 2006 book which I am most looking forward to.
I'm sure Foer will do an excellent job running my favorite political magazine, and if things go really well, no movie will ever be made about his tenure.
