I will be out of the office and mostly off the grid until the end of next week. I won’t be blogging. I doubt that I can step away from Twitter altogether.
My print column, scheduled to appear in the Sunday Review section, takes up the question often posed by readers of how much editing and direction The Times’s star Op-Ed columnists receive.
I’ll be back to take up the pressing questions of the day â€" whatever they are by then.
One addendum, for the sake of clarity: As public editor, I speak only for myself. My opinions about what happened during and after the Tesla Model S road test, expressed in my Monday blog post, are not those of The Times.
