In 1946 former Vice President Henry Wallace became editor, before his left-wing campaign for President. But by 1952, the magazine had returned to the Democratic Party mainstream. Almost never profitable, it drew its funding from a succession of wealthy sponsors and its opinions from editors, including Walter Lippmann and Edmund Wilson.
