  2. I think she moved to a retirement village in Central New Jersey, but not sure she'd be the best choice.

    I do think it should be someone who knows New Jersey, not another out-of-towner like Francis who thinks it's his job to cover the world.

  3. Isn't Francis from New Jersey, save for his time in Denver?

  4. He was born in Brooklyn and was raised in Westfield, but he never struck me as someone who knew New Jersey.

    I recall that in a news meeting, he once ordered the news copy desk not to use the words "Pulaski Skyway" on the front page in connection with a story on crumbling infrastructure.

    He argued readers had never heard of it, and anyway, he never used it.
