Page "The New York Review of Books" Paragraph 16

:" One suspects they yearn for the day when they can return to their normal publishing routine – that gentlemanly pastiche of philosophy, art, classical music, photography, German and Russian history, East European politics, literary fiction – unencumbered by political duties of a confrontational or oppositional nature.

That day has not yet arrived.

If and when it does, let it be said that the editors met the challenges of the post-9 / 11 era in a way that most other leading American publications did not, and that The New York Review of Books ... was there when we needed it most.
