Wasserman joins Truthdig as books editor

Steve Wasserman and Robert Scheer are together again. The former Los Angeles Times book editor, now managing director of the New York office of Kneerim & Williams at Fish & Richardson, will begin a weekly book review for Scheer's Truthdig.com in October. Wasserman will keep his post at the literary agency. Way back when, Wasserman was Scheer's researcher at the Times.
