Portfolio assistant managing editor Ann Powell is leaving the magazine. Her job was basically to nag writers to file their stories, which was especially miserable at Portfolio with the whole newspaper people not knowing how magazines close thing. Word is that she's going to Reader's Digest. How old school! The magazine also did not renew the contract of contributing editor Nancy Hass, despite the fact that she's married to senior editor Bob Roe. It's just like that Patty Smyth song, but with nepotism instead of love.
