This by @zackbeauchamp is good and important, and connects what's going on in the realm of ideas to what's going on in the world, but I can't help but harrumph a bit at the idea that Pinker, Gopnik, and Lilla are liberalism's available defenders.https://twitter.com/zackbeauchamp/status/1171040388146237442?s=20 …

I very much hope this is so, and I will say that it is exciting to see how the editorial team skipped straight from a generation older than me to a generation younger.

I think the actual answer is that editorial assignments reflect politics-inflected social networks, and those networks can take a good long while to reflect shifts in political alignment.

That's generically true of publications but in the case of NYRB, the overwhelming fact is that Robert Silvers edited it from 1963 to 2017. The "social network" was who Silvers knew and read, which was very wide but not, by the nature of things, universal.
