After 36 years as a writer, editor and critic at TV Guide, where I covered politics (to the extent that TV Guide covers politics), I retired in 2012 and almost immediately began volunteering at Seventy, where politics is a considerably bigger part of the mix. I wanted to be part of this organization because I’m fascinated by public policy and the political process, because I love Philadelphia and want to see it thrive, and because I know that sound policy and clean politics will go a long way toward making that happen.
