What led to the altercation between Manuel Roig-Franzia & Henry Allen of the Washington Post on Friday night?
Washington Post executive editor Marcus Brauchli found himself in the middle of a fight Friday evening between Style reporter Manuel Roig-Franzia and editor Henry Allen, but will not say whether the two have been reprimanded by the paper. “We take this incident seriously and will address it appropriately,” Brauchli told POLITICO by phone, declining to comment further.

Next, staffers on the 4th floor —including Brauchli, whose office is temporarily across from the Style section — jumped in to break up the altercation. Allen, a Pulitzer Prize-winning editor who already took a buyout, has just three weeks left on his contract, and was not in the office Monday. Roig-Franzia is in the office.
