  From the article: >... this was standard practice. Dao’s name was on the masthead of the New York Times because he was in charge of the op-ed section. If I insisted on reviewing every piece, I would have been doing his job for him – and been betraying a crippling lack of trust in one of the papers’ finest editors. After I departed, and other Opinion staff quit or were reassigned, the Times later made him Metro editor, a sign of its own continued confidence in him. I agree that, in retrospect, stepping in to oversee his editor's decision-making could have resulted in a different outcome for Bennet. But, it does not seem to be an abject failure of professionalism. It seemed like he trusted the established processes and norms too much, and his failure might have been to trust them to hold up under significant pressure.
