Looks like the Life & Style fall out is getting a good start. We hear that yesterday, the embroiled tabloid's photo director, Polly Teller, walked off the job. An insider tattles, "She was there in the morning, and then she wasn't, and slowly word filtered out from other photo editors that she had actually quit."

Meanwhile, disgruntlement with newly seated EIC Mark Pasetsky continues to grow as he begins morphing into Bonnie Fuller and holding the staff late in the night. So-called "early nights" like Wednesday and Thursday have become later and later, with staffers being chained to their desks till 8 or 9pm as he demands the art department continue to redesign layouts. But, "he doesn't give any direction — he just knows he doesn't like the result. So the designers have to keep trying until they finally happen by chance to hit on a design he likes."

To be fair, however, our insider says Mark is "not a tyrant or anything, but he
doesn't seem to have any idea how low morale is around the office."

Sounds like Hubert Boehle certainly put the right man in charge of things.
