...magazine reflects the fireside approach that always characterized Cousins' editing of the old SR: chatty editorials; decorously risible cartoons; spacious, ambling feature articles on topics that interest Cousins. SR/ World offers reportorial reach along with the literary and cultural interests of the old SR, and the amalgam so far seems to work. The first issue featured some solid reporting by Horace Sutton on the Cuban community in Miami and its links with Watergate. In the same issue, Novelist Herbert Gold contributed a lyrical review of John Dos Passos' letters and diaries, concluded that the novelist was "a person...
...battered, flattened, ridiculed - and still plays on, as much for the audience as for himself. (After all, who ends up paying for those $70,000-a-minute commercials - and those $100,000 bonuses?) In the process, the viewer receives a game of infinite hue and complexity, an amalgam of ballet, combat, chess and mugging.

...result is a chimerical amalgam of cultures, as though Chryssa's eye had got ahead of the present and were looking back on Times Square from a vantage point as remote in time from it as ours is from ancient Greece. The neons still work, but they do so with fitful spareness; a cunningly formed squiggle lights up here or there, or a labyrinth of reversed and superimposed red letters glows inside a dark plastic box. They spell AUTOMAT, but in fact they defy reading. The signs have ceased to signify. They are fragments-not in the sense...
