Hi Lisa,
I just went to the link for the NYT Mag, and "Lives" is listed in the columns. The current essay is "The Visitor." I guess it was just a rumor they are discontinuing, or maybe it is now by invite only?
Hi Laurie,
Buried in the Times statement about the changes at the magazine is that Lives is now going to be an "as told to" column from here on. And indeed, The Visitor, is 'as told to' Thomas Fuller, who is the Times southeast Asia correspondent. So, the column lives on, but alas not for freelance essay writer submissions.
