Bush Taps Glassman

From the AP:

President Bush tapped magazine publisher James K. Glassman to head the agency that directs U.S. overseas broadcasts, replacing a chairman whose tenure has been stormy.

Glassman, a fellow at the conservative American Enterprise Institute think tank in Washington, will replace embattled chairman Kenneth Y. Tomlinson, who resigned in January as chairman of the Broadcasting Board of Governors.

Bush had renominated Tomlinson to continue as chairman on Nov. 14, after Republicans lost control of both chambers of Congress.
