New Commentary Editor Denies Neo-Nepotism.

The article focuses on a controversy surrounding the appointment of John Podhoretz as editor of the conservative political magazine "Commentary." Podhoretz is the son of Norman Podhoretz, who was the magazine's editor from 1972-2007. Conservative writers are split on the appointment, which some see as pure nepotism. "Commentary" faces a problem with dwindling circulation and a decline in its influence in conservative politics.
