This, so we have been told, is why so many GuideLive staffers have accepted the buyout--though we've also been told film critic Chris Vognar, mentioned elsewhere last week as someone who took the deal, has withdrawn his offer and decided to stay. (That comes as little surprise and welcome news: Not only is he a friend, but in the wake of Philip Wuntch's announced departure, the paper will still need to have a local film voice, lest it turn Friday's GuideLive into an all-wire-service section and be rendered wholly irrelevant.) By my count, the paper could lose as many as 10 of its higher-profile critics and arts editors, whose names we'll leave to others till the writers and editors decide whether to withdraw their acceptances, as Vognar has. And when you add in those arts writers the paper let go in 2004--among them Olin Chism, Jane Sumner, Teresa Gubbins, Gary Dowell and Deborah Voorhees--well, that's a "Very High" number indeed. --Robert Wilonsky
