Wells Bennett

Back when I worked at the Washington Post editorial page, we reserved headlines composed of only a person's name for obituaries. So let me start by reassuring you all that Wells Bennett has not died. He is alive and well, but as of today, I'm afraid he is starting a new job—which is to say he has moved on from his longtime post as managing editor of this site. More than a few words of appreciation for his service here are in order here, but I will keep this very brief.
