IS TEN THE NEW FIFTEEN? — by Steve Nadis

Recently I’ve interviewed a lot of high-powered types for the terrorism article I’m working on. Almost all of them set aside 15 minutes for these interviews. However, one of the experts allows only 10 minutes for such conversations. I tried to explain to his secretary that 15 was the industry standard, but she held firm: 10 minutes was the limit, no ifs, ands, or buts. This guy is a big deal and possibly a trendsetter in his field, which makes me think that 10 may be the new 15. Remember, you heard it here first.

    I have it on good authority that “old” is the new “new.” Or should I now say that “old” is the old “new?”

    I don’t understand this, TB, but I still have a strong feeling that you’re right.
