Does VANITY FAIR have any editors?

Here's a sentence from Michael Wolff's January column "Billionaires and Broadsheets." (Remember, it's a single sentence!)

"This was the cosmic joke: newspapers, once the singular province of big men, great sons of bitches, monsters, Citizen Kane himself--the TRIBUNE was run by one of the most outsize of news barons, Colonel Robert McCormick, grandson of a Chicago mayor, co-founder of one of the nation's biggest law firms, isolationist, militarist, show-off, star of the first newsreel, avid and odd personal crusader (spelling reform was one of his hot issues)--had become the land of nobodies."
