Highfalutin' editor Tina Brown and her even more highfalutin' husband, "Sir" Harold Evans the Elder, are the featured guests on an upcoming one of those celebrity cruise things. How delightfully low-rent!

Bitter personal rivalries usually aren't forgotten in journalism, much less laid aside in the interest of craft. (Just you wait till we all answer to Julia Allison). So it's pretty big indeed of Sir Harold Evans, author of the five-volume newspaper aesthetics bible Editing and Design, to dispense kind words about his archnemesis Rupert Murdoch. The sage old husband of Tina Brown tells The Independent, "The Wall Street Journal has, in the last two or three months since Murdoch took it over, been dramatically improved. They've got rid of the Cheltenham mountainous face, that is still in The [New York] Times...They've made the mistake of still continuing the upper capitalisation but the whole Journal is well-designed – a major improvement in my opinion." What oceans of hostility lie beneath this happy talk of typeface.

Pioneering Sunday Times editor, husband to Tina Brown: "Should The New York Times be redesigned? Absolutely... If your wife or husband is already reading the C section and you have a jump... from the first section... it's impossible." [Independent]

The latest from of The Fabulous Life of Harold Evans and Tina Brown:

We'd call it the end of an era, but if it weren't for Henry the Intern, would you have even known that Harold Evans wasn't just Tina Brown's love slave but, in fact, a weekly radio host? For the past 13 weeks, BBC Radio 4 has hosted Evans's weekly "Letter from America," in which he rambles about the current American sentiment on current affairs (and usually those affairs least relevant to the issue of the week). For his final broadcast, Evans finally tackles the elephant in the room and talks of Iraq, if only in terms of its "elegant preamble." After the jump, Henry the Intern reports.

Holy shit, Harold Evans got all relevant up in this piece! In his latest BBC radio broadcast, Sir Harry of Tina Brown's house tackles the sorry state of television news. Unfortunately, it had to take a viewing of the Edward-Murrow-glory-days movie Good Night and Good Luck to get Evans into fighting form, but we can't judge a man for being motivated by forces of Clooney-backed entertainment. After the jump, Henry the Intern does the happy dance.

We have but one wish this forthcoming holiday season, and it's that Harold Evans might sit down with his darling wife Tina Brown so that the latter might educate the former on the American way: our unwavering devotion to the lunacy of pop culture and celebrity. Judging from his BBC radio broadcast this week, we're rather certain Harry has absolutely no foothold in American reality, opting to discuss global warming instead of the baby TomKat situation. And to think, at least five Britons are listening to Harry's "Letter from America" thinking the man actually knows the damn place. After the jump, Henry the Intern's weekly report.

This week, the effects of Harold Evans' marriage to Tina Brown become increasingly clear, as Evans gives into the insanity and goes full throttle towards irrelevancy. In his latest BBC radio broadcast on all things American, Evans talks of one of the biggest stories in our country: the Endangered Species Act. (A pressing issue, indeed, and not to be confused with hurricanes, terrorism, the war in Iraq, or Tom DeLay.) After the jump, Henry the Intern reports between the sobs.

In this week's edition of his BBC Radio 4 broadcast, the one man able to tame Tina Beastie Brown, Sir Harold Evans, boldly went where every other journalist has gone before: irrelevancy. In a week full of American headlines surely worthy of dissection for his British audience, Evans instead opted to recount a tale about the educational Edison Project which, as many of his recollections do, centers around a Hamptons get-together. After the jump, Henry the Intern reports on the ho and the hum.

In this week's edition of his BBC Radio 4 broadcast, Tina Brown's slave-hubby Harold Evans continues to give the U.S. of A. some more head, going down on Katrina and fellating the event into a lengthy speech on American semantics. Specifically, Harry finds perhaps the only positive outcome from the devastating hurricane, as the media is abandoning all sorts of fluff terms and calling poor people exactly what they are: poor. We're not even sure what that means, but it sounds fascinating! After the jump, Henry the Intern's weekly report.

In this week's edition of Harold Evans' BBC Radio 4 broadcast, Tina Brown's love monkey directs his passion, yet again, to the glory of the American spirit. Naturally, Evans reflects on the goverment's response (or lack thereof) in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and predicts the disaster to have a similar political impact as that of the Great Depression. Why you care: Evans somehow comes to this conclusion via a metaphor about a log floating in water, which sounds a lot like borderline potty humor to us. After the jump, Henry the Intern's weekly report.

In the latest installment of his BBC radio broadcast, Tina Brown's beloved poolboy, Harold Evans, continues to express his bright-eyed and bushy-tailed optimism for the American way, even despite the current headlines. Rather than continue with more Hurricane Katrina coverage, Evans rehashes the childhood fairy tale of the Princess and the toad as an explanation for gang rape, Supreme Court nominee John Roberts, and federal power. Duh. After the jump, Henry the Intern deciphers Harold's accent and mixed metaphors.

After five long weeks of commentary, Tina Brown's marital warden Sir Harold Evans finally took his weekly BBC show where we truly wanted to go: Long Island! More specifically, Harry prattled on about the rich American tradition of "summering" and the yearly Manhattan exodus to the Hamptons. But Harry and Tina are trailblazers, mind you, and they needn't play by the rules of Amagansett or East Hampton. Instead, you'll find them holed up in a clapboard beach home in Quogue, a town Harry prefers for its literary WASPiness. Because the Hamptons are an ethnic hotbed, obviously. After the jump, Henry the Intern gives his weekly report on Evans' weekly ramble.

In this week's installment of Sir Harold Evans' BBC radio show, the man of Tina Brown's house asserts himself as a forward-thinking soul, all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed during even the dark days of American politics. Or, you know, he could just be completely nave. Henry the Intern withholds such judgment and, after the jump, reports on Harry's musings on the intelligent design of Americana.

Another weekend, another fireside chat with the Tina Brown's zookeeper and editor-at-large of The Week, Sir Harold Evans. As we've mentioned, Evans is doing a weekly radio broadcast on BBC4 in the vein of Alistair Cooke's Letter from America series. Naturally, this is the sort of hard reporting Henry the Intern was made for. In our latest installment of Weekends with Harry, we learn the Evans-Brown clan loves vacationing on a Arizona cattle ranch. After the jump, Henry indulges all of your cowboy fantasies.

It began last Friday morning as a dream, but by Sunday night it was a reality: Harold Evans, the brave marital keeper of Tina Brown, debuted his weekly "fireside chat" on BBC Radio 4. Designed as a replacement to Alistair Cooke's long-running Letter from America segment, Evans took 8 minutes of Henry the Intern's time to tell of life as an ex-pat. After the jump, Henry returns to fine form with a recap of Evans' opinions on political life suppot, delivered with a funny accent and multisyllabic finesse.

Served as editor of the UK Times and Sunday Times. Former president and publisher of Random House. Editor-at-large of The Week magazine. Faithful husband and houseboy to Her Media Highness Tina Brown. Isn't the plate of Harold Evans full enough as is?
