Gabriel Sherman's lengthy New Republic take on troubles at the Wash Post this week -- titled 'Post Apocalypse' -- drew massive attention, including the eyes of longtime chairman and former publisher Donald Graham. He pens a response to TNR today, which calls the piece "lazy" and closes: "Hoping for the best for The New Republic, I expect them to live through many more such pieces in your magazine." Excerpt:Not much new here. His endless lead rehashes an episode now seven months old in which a screamingly obvious decision to enter the conference business was betrayed by poor execution. Respected news organizations sponsor dozens of conferences.Your reporter tries to build this into a mountain. Having lived through the Janet Cooke episode in my second year as publisher, I do not see in this months-old issue even a respectable-sized molehill.
