Before we start our daily Steelathon, La Cieca wants to ask you, cher public: which nickname should your doyenne use in future for the NYCO’s new honcho: “Two-Face” or “The Man of Steel?”

Okay, so our first story of the day is an editorial in the New York Times welcoming, well, you know who to town, though warning he “has his work cut out for him.” (Oh, Gray Lady, how you do turn a phrase!) Perhaps a more subtly ominous note is sounded in the final graf, when the Royal Editoral We admonish Steel, “His task will be not just to raise money and inspire his company. As he begins to take the measure of the board that hired him, we suspect he may also see the necessity of strengthening that board.” No names, please — as if any were needed!
