...million people, are bitter over alleged favoritism by Diem and his Catholic ruling family toward the nation's 1,500,000 Catholics. The Buddhists have long complained that the government gives Catholics the best civil service jobs and that Diem, because he feels that Catholics are more solidly antiCommunist, promotes them to higher positions in the army. Many young Vietnamese army officers, claim Buddhist leaders, have become converts to Catholicism to win official favor.

In the five years Politics was published, Macdonald supplied all of these in abundance. Long before it was permitted in liberal circles, Macdonald was an outspoken antiCommunist. Like George Orwell, he directed his fiercest fire at his friends-or ex-comrades-on the left. Since Politics folded, Macdonald has been a busy man-about-the-arts, contributing to The New Yorker and the "little" magazines, acting as advisor to Encounter, most recently serving as movie critic for Esquire.
