What's new with Newt?
Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House and Time's Man of the Year in 1995, has been busy since leaving D.C. According to the The Weekly Standard, Gingrich has written 137 book reviews that more than 2,000 Amazon.com shoppers considered "helpful." That enables Gingrich to add another line to his curriculum vitae: an Amazon Top 500 Reviewer, at number 488 (and that puts him in a tie with "boudica," a "witch and editor of the ZodiacBistro.com").
CNET Editor in Chief Scott Ard has been a journalist for more than 20 years and an early tech adopter for even longer. Those two passions led him to editing one of the first tech sections for a daily newspaper in the mid 1990s, and to joining CNET part-time in 1996 and full-time a few years later.
