James Fallows is a beast. He's featured on the cover of the magazine with an in-depth article every other month, contributes short articles each issue and updates his blog regularly. The long-form articles must each take years of research; his recent clean-coal piece hinted at at least four. A bit of estimation suggests that Mr. Fallows is running ~10 non-trivial article-length projects at a go, in addition to his PBS pieces and books.

Fallows is the closest thing the U.S. has to a public intellectual.

for those who ain't seen it, an obligatory link to Fallows on "Living With a Computer" from July 1982: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1982/07/living-w... (what fun he was having!)

I'd never seen that, but wow, what a fascinating article.
