...Review now runs fewer, if longer, book reviews, and devotes much of its space to New Left political commentary. Back in 1963, for example, a book review by Marcus Raskin persuasively rebutted those members of the military establishment who urged a continuing accumulation of nuclear weapons. Raskin's case was all the more convincing because it was coolly and rationally made.

...makes such conciliatory suggestions, Powers is stepping up his demands. What he wants now is a guarantee from each of the papers that it will take on employees displaced by other papers because of merger or automation. The publishers have sworn to resist. "Labor and management," said Raskin, "can prolong their quarreling until the cake over which they quarrel crumbles into nothing...
