“I published an essay in Acumen that exemplifies Jason's best traits as an editor -- his daring and his fine touch with structure and phrasing. My piece was sure to irritate a good portion of his readers on its face and yet something he thought they should read and consider. His editing was deft and helpful. Even when I disagreed with a suggestion, say to cut something, it improved the piece. And he was willing to conced on points where that was not the case.”
