A mixed bag in the week’s Top 10. Kery Howley and Kay Hymowitz dominated the week, with their Dust-Up on The Children placing twice in Top 10 (and twice more in the Top 20), and an end-of-the-week surge by Cy Bolton’s Blowback was good for a Place. But it was former L.A. Times editorial board member Jacob Heilbrunn who brought home the gold in a week that contained neither Hillary nor Barack. Thanks for reading, and we’ll see you next week.
