Portfolio's second issue hits newsstands later this week, with improved tempo and pacing, but with new unrest now surfacing on Joanne Lipman's editorial staff. Overall, our evaluators here see an improved product, although not quite an "A" level from the high-priced A-team. We would give it a mid-range B, up from the B- that The Post gave it for its maiden voyage.

–Stingy media professor Keith Kelly, refusing to give those grade-grubbers at Portfolio anything higher than a B/B+.
