I received a note last night that another of the people who was responsible for opening many doors for me in Washington when I first moved here in 1994 died yesterday.
I’ll never forget him telling me that while I should also maintain a constructive posture in policy debates, I shouldn’t be afraid of breaking some china and challenging conventional thinking. He was not pleased when I met him of how homogenized the thinking in DC was becoming.
C. William “Bill” Maynes was the editor of Foreign Policy magazine for 17 years and was President Emeritus of the Eurasia Foundation.
I owe much to Bill and will greatly miss him in this town.
