Ignoring Issues. The new Jewish press seems to have originated in the fall of 1966 in Manhattan, when Columbia Sophomore Alan Mintz and Yale Sophomore James Sleeper founded the quarterly Response. "We thought Jewish intellectuals were ignoring important Jewish issues," explains Mintz today. "But we also wanted to publish poetry, fiction, even satire." At first, Response took only undergraduate material. Now it welcomes contributions from Jews of all ages and the quality has improved markedly...
...musings over the technical difficulties of his novel in progress which are presented in such a fragmentary manner that we never know what he is getting at. Besides, who, even ten years ago, would consider presenting rough draft passages of a novel with notations even before it is published? Imagine Robert Frost publishing those terrible first drafts of his famous poems before the poems themselves came out.

...merely regurgitating received ideas--of the novel Les Mandarins. In this novel, there is a dispute between two characters: Henri and Dubreuilh. It is in this novel, and within it alone, that the dispute between the characters centered on the question whether or not to publish a report on Stalin's labor camps. In viewing this novel as a roman a clef, there has been a temptation in certain quarters to identify Henri with Camus and Dubreuilh with Sartre. But as Simone de Beauvoir, the author of the novel, has clearly stated in her autobiography La Force des Choses: "Henri...
