No one would argue today that the NYRB is a journal of
the left, or that it is as comparatively radical as it
once was. What it does have is some diversity of
opinion, and a fair number of good articles. Even
Louis -- maybe especially Louis -- should like
Elizabeth Drew's article in the current issue about
how the rudderless Democrats are working hard to blow
what many even on the left consider to be an election
that (a) they could and should win, and (b) is the
most important in a generation. It also publishes Gary
Wills a lot.
