	New York State Writers Institute - David Remnick Albany Times Unon Article
		David Remnick, editor of The New Yorker, scoffed at the notion that, according to one writer's literary calculus, he is the most powerful man on earth.
		Remnick is content with, by his reckoning, being a pretty boring guy.
		Remnick, who seems to wear a perpetual smirk in photographs, leavens a quicksilver intellect with self-deprecrating humor in conversation.

	What can the science journalist learn from David Remnick's Lenin's Tomb? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Remnick appreciates irony, and uses it throughout to communicate his personal sense of disbelief, whether this stems from the curious accessibility of history, or the sheer degree to which many of his interviewees want introspection.
		Remnick's assertion that rapid democratisation was the ``right and necessary'' path for a people who have no cultural basis in either democracy or individualism, seems to exceed the bounds of objectivity of fair journalism.
		Remnick shows the wisdom and restraint of a great journalist when he ignores the noisy din that is the anarchy in the former Soviet Union and stays in Moscow to watch the historic court proceedings.

		Remnick: Yeah, but we’re a world’s remaining superpower that has been proved to be not quite as strong as we thought we were when this first happened in 1991.
		Remnick: Well, because particularly since 9/11, particularly because of the rise of radical Islamic fundamentalism, terrorism, our mistakes in Iran, all these things, this has become, this is the issue in the United States.
		Remnick: that the average American can only keep in mind just so many subjects at one time, whether it’s immigration, and where foreign affairs is concerned, I think the Middle East and south Asia and our military adventures there are certainly first and foremost.

	Lenin's tomb : the last days of the sovi… by David Remnick \| LibraryThing
		David Remnick's "Lenin's Tomb" is a book about the journalist's experiences just before and during the collapse of the USSR at the end of the 1980s.
		Because Remnick goes almost entirely by interviews for his information, the book gives a very thorough biographical view of the times, but there is very little information on the general state of the country, economic and social causes for the collapse, and so on.
		Remnick's tone and style are very much like those of a tabloid investigative journalist, describing people and events mostly by way of the author's opinions and what the people he interviews look and act like.

		To Remnick it seems clear that Ali's greatest accomplishment is to prove beyond a doubt that not only is it possible to challenge the implacable forces of the establishment (the noir-ish, gangster-ridden fight game and the ethos of a whole country) but, with the right combination of conviction and talent, to triumph over these forces.
		David Remnick explores the impact of Muhammad Ali in the ring and to the rest of the world.
		David Remnick paints an evocative portrait of the time and gives a keen insight into the internal politics surrounding the fight game, the Black Muslims and the boxing press.

		And so David has made it her life's mission the past several years to spread the word about this time bomb that's poised to detonate and wreak havoc with our lives.
		David's point is that we've all got to get involved in the global-warming solution or risk an imminent ecological nightmare of rising seas, flooding, the spread of deadly viruses and a massive spike in extreme weather phenomena akin to Katrina.
		David prefers to focus her energies on the battle at hand rather than her detractors, but does say, "I'm dismissed as a wacko, as the wife of a celebrity.

	washingtonpost.com: Style Live: Showcase
		The 39-year-old Remnick, a former Washington Post reporter who won the 1994 nonfiction Pulitzer as well as that year's prestigious George Polk Award for a book about the breakup of the Soviet Union, was the surprise choice of billionaire S.I. Newhouse Jr., chairman of the private media company that owns the magazine.
		Remnick's colleagues greeted him with cheers and a five-minute ovation when Newhouse announced him at the New Yorker offices as their new leader yesterday morning.
		Newhouse, who, like Remnick, decined to discuss the terms of the position – which pays in the high six figures in salary, perks and other compensation – said Remnick is not under orders to reverse the New Yorker's financial fortunes.

	The quiet American \| By genre \| Guardian Unlimited Books
		Remnick, who was for many years the New Yorker's star reporter, covering - in the tradition of AJ Liebling - an almost alarming range of subjects with grace and dexterity, has edited the magazine for the past eight years and quietly, seriously, changed its fortunes.
		Remnick, who was hired by Brown, has never been critical of her tenure, and is inviolably modest about his own contribution.
		David Remnick was born in 1958 and grew up in Hillsdale, New Jersey, where his father was a dentist and his mother an art teacher.

	A Far-Flung Correspondent - The New York Review of Books
		Remnick has contacts that other journalists would envy, not only among the leaders themselves but— crucially—in the middle ranks of power where mutinous civil servants are often more willing to talk imprudently than their bosses.
		Remnick obviously finds him likable and in the interviews he lets him ramble earnestly on about his high intentions, his sadness that the Bush administration is so badly misunderstood, the importance of standing up for the democratic order throughout the world.
		Remnick sets each of them into the physical background of their lives, and then skillfully induces them to talk at length and with passion, as intently as if they were returning to familiar arguments with an old friend.

	David Remnick: a man of two hats and many interests - The Boston Globe
		To judge how adroitly David Remnick wears two demanding hats -- editing one of the country's leading magazines while sustaining a writing career -- consider the fact that most of the 23 lengthy pieces in his new collection, ''Reporting," were written after he became editor of The New Yorker in 1998.
		Remnick will take part in an interview Thursday onstage at the Brattle Theatre in Cambridge with Tom Ashbrook, host of WBUR-FM's ''On Point." The event, sponsored by Harvard Bookstore, will be followed by a question-and-answer session with the audience.
		We can make fun of various speeches and amuse ourselves with Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, who I think are really funny, but it doesn't ease the anxiety that this presidency has in excess of 2 1/2 years to go, and, as others have noted, that's as long as the entire Kennedy presidency.

		Remnick's last collection of pieces (The Devil Problem) was published in 1996—two years before he became editor of the New Yorker (the magazine in which many of those essays appeared).
		In his introduction, Remnick describes many of his subjects as those who "tend to be elusive." It is Remnick's art to reveal subtle, truthful qualities of people such as Don DeLillo, Mike Tyson and Al Gore who are reluctant to disclose themselves.
		Remnick is an ideal reporter, combining erudition, curiosity, wit, an eye for the telling anecdote and empathy.

	Ruined By Reading: Book Review - Lenin's Tomb by David Remnick
		Remnick's grandfather was not successful – Rabbi Simon was arrested, deported to the Urals and never heard again.
		Remnick's extremely critical account of the last days of the Soviet era could be traced to these familial links to Stalinist atrocities.
		Remnick merely wanted to sit with Lazar Kaganovich "to see what an evil man looked like, what books he kept around." The curious American reporter would not have been disappointed.

	Remnick insightful, powerful (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		David Remnick, the insightful and powerful author of "Lenin's Tomb" and other documentary studies, has made a career of reporting.
		Remnick is also nothing if not comprehensive in his study of Israel (where he has for years been a reporter), about, among others, Natan Scharansky and Ariel Sharon, and in Russia, where he conveys perhaps more wisdom about Putin than any host of CIA studies.
		Remnick is perhaps one of the best sources for those who hope to write for a living, for he is empathetic, can be coldly honest, but never falters from conveying what is right and true about his subject.

		So Remnick introduced Stewart to the sold-out crowd packing the final event of the 2006 New Yorker Festival Sunday, and with that he sped off with his hand-held microphone and a few prompts here and there to explore the Jon Stewart phenomenon for the next hour or so.
		Remnick, laughing along with the audience, switched it up to the current scandal, asking if the recent IMs from Mark Foley were as much fun.
		Remnick volunteers that Stewart is "the most astute political critic there is," and Stewart repeats it: "I am the most astute political critic there is." He points out that what really makes him unique is that he can make sodomy jokes.

	Talk of the world / New Yorker Editor David Remnick covers the grand figures of our age
		Remnick's attention to the possibilities of ecclesiastical promise gathers an otherwise diverse series of character sketches into a codex on moral grandeur.
		Remnick was a Moscow reporter for the Washington Post before he went to the New Yorker, and one of the book's five sections is devoted wholly to Russia; the other sections take up Western politics, literary figures, Israel and boxing.
		Remnick's subjects exist on the page as themselves and as emblems, as historical actors and folkloric spirits, and this simultaneity is what creates a sort of fabulist urgency.
