Moving 'Diary'

The Washington Post's Federal Diary is on the move, from the paper's Metro section to its Business section. Makes sense, I guess, since the federal government is hardly just a metro Washington entity. I'll admit that my competitive instincts cause me to wonder whether some readers might not follow the column to its new location. Unfortunately, from personal experience of getting scooped by the column's author, Steve Barr, I know that's unlikely. Steve's an incisive observer of the federal scene, and I have no doubt that his loyal readers will go with him wherever the column goes.
