After 13 years at the helm of the irresistably British Economist, editor Bill Emmott is throwing in his conservative towel. His career at the publication started 26 years ago in Brussels; during his editorship, the magazine's circulation has more than doubled, surpassing the million-reader mark. Emmott's now decided to quit while he's ahead, noting the magazine is "in top form and in great hands, which makes a good moment to go." Quite the sentimental one, isn't he?
