Meet the Publisher

Last week marked the first week on the job of the Chronicle's new publisher, Frank Vega. Now you may be wondering to yourself (or not) who is Frank Vega? A good question, actually, as it turns out Frank is a bit of a notorious character. He is, depending on how you look at it, either a bold, tough, visionary CEO with a knack for trimming fat or a ruthless, tyrannical union buster out to do nothing but keep down the down-trodden. Either way, the hiring of somebody with the nickname "Darth Vega" as publisher is a curious choice.
