Daily News - Waiting for Tierney?

William Safire, conservative lion of The New York Times op-ed page for three decades, revealed he'd give up his column three months ago, and published his last one on Jan. 24.

A few key players at the paper say John Tierney, a former Metro Section columnist now in the Washington bureau, will fill the Safire vacancy. "That's a decision made by people above me," Tierney told The News.

Tierney is called - and has called himself - a libertarian. A column that stands out among many who study The Times closely was his contrarian case that New York's recycling program was a waste of money.

Times spokeswoman Catherine Mathis had no comment on Tierney. Editorial page editor Gail Collins didn't return a call.
