Hell, no, Howell won't go: Times Executives Feel Blair's Burn

The New York TImes Executive Editor Howell Raines and Managing Editor Gerald Boyd answered employee questions at a town hall meeting yesterday, and said he won't quit.

Newsday says it's tough times for Raines.

There are rumors that Blair is shopping around a book deal and L.A. Weekly's Nikki Finke says people shouldn't be surprised about that.
