THERE was something missing in the announcement on the New York Times' Web site that David Shipley is the new editor of the paper's op-ed page. While the Times noted that Shipley, 39, had been editor of the New Republic and then a senior speechwriter for President Clinton, it failed to mention he is the husband of "The Beauty Myth" author Naomi Wolf - who made headlines in 1999 when it was learned she had been advising Al Gore on how to become president. For $15,000 a month, she told Gore he had to wear earth tones and become an alpha-male.
