New Roles for Two of Our Favorites

Unlike most columnists, Andrew Sullivan doesn’t take sides–he makes new ones. Neither predictably right nor left, Andrew always has an invigorating take on the subject of the day–whether it be politics, religion, society or culture. TIME readers have enjoyed his essays for years (in fact, he has one on this week’s back page), and now you can enjoy his observations every day on TIME.com, which is where you can find his blog, the Daily Dish. One of the original bloggers, Andrew has a loyal Web readership that constantly informs and challenges him. If you are not already a fan, I urge you to check him out on TIME.com. I’m confident you will find him as engaging as I do.

I’m also delighted to announce that this week Dr. Andrew Weil, another longtime friend of TIME’s (we excerpted his book Healthy Aging last October), joins us as a columnist. Readers who enjoy Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Christine Gorman and other members of our health team can look forward to reading Andy once a month. Andy preaches the ultimate in preventive medicine. His advice on how to live a well-balanced life has won him millions of fans. And TIME readers can now send him questions on TIME.com after his columns appear; we’ll pick out the best ones and then post Andy’s answers on TIME.com.
