Safire and Powell to step down 

The New York Times reports that William Safire, the columnist that all liberals love to hate, will be stepping down in Jan 2005, after 31 years on the op-ed page. He will, however, continue to write his Sunday column "On Language", which linguists love to hate.

Far more important, of course, is that Colin Powell is to step down as Secretary of State.
