Andrew Sullivan, the conservative commentator, is a believer in the direct approach in the job market. Sullivan, who was dropped from the New York Times Magazine and took refuge in blogging after Howell Raines became editor of the newspaper, was one of the people asked by New York Magazine for his recommendation to the Times' new editor. How would you change the Times? Sullivan answered: "Hire a real conservative columnist."
