He wasn't nearly old enough for a buyout, but A1 editor (and for our money, an all-around kinda A1 guy) Chris Fiscus flew the Gannett coop recently, landing in the nest former Republic columnist and KTAR talk show host David Leibowitz has been feathering over at Moses Anshell, the too-cool-for-school, thirtysomething-ish ad/P.R. agency in the downtown Phoenix warehouse district.

Sounds like a soft landing pad, though the announcement looks a little high school yearbook -- or like something Jason Rose's firm would put out.
