Graydon Carter Also Exempt From McKinsey Evaluation?

It might just be wishful thinking on his part — up until now, the only person exempt from the McKinsey inquisition has reportedly been The New Yorker’s David Remnick — but here’s what Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter had to say to the New York Observer at a book party last night about. A good attitude can get you far in life, you know.

We asked Mr. Carter if he’d already had his meeting.

“What meeting?” he said.

The one with the McKinsey people!

“No, no,” Mr. Carter said, emphatically. “They’re not gonna meet with me.”

They’re not?

“No.”

Then how are they going to decide what to do with your magazine?

“How are they what? I have no idea,” Mr. Carter said cheerfully. “We haven’t found out yet. I’m sure they’ll have some brilliant ideas.”
