...effect in print is not muddle, but barbed and often authoritative reasoning. Says Commentary Editor Norman Podhoretz: "New Republic has become indispensable for anyone seriously interested in the climate of political opinion." Syndicated Columnist George Will describes the magazine's writers, particularly Essayist Charles Krauthammer (who also contributes Essays to TIME), as among the country's most discerning.

Or if you swallowed the articles of what can only charitably be called drivel which Alexander Cockburn published in The Village Voice, you ought to be a rabid anti-Semite. Only a few Martin Peretz, William Safire and Norman Podhoretz among them had the intelligence to announce that the Americans were being snarled in lies. Even today, when the miasma of Sabra and Shatila lingers heavily, few thoughtful people would claim to know what happened--or, for that matter, what is happening in Lebanon...
