I'm trying to stay out of latest TNR fracas. Honestly I am. I mean I was given a wonderful once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to shape the magazine and have said my share about what it should be. It's time to let others have their say. But maybe I can clear up some misconceptions?

Also, one problem with the anti-woke obsessives is that even when they are occasionally right, they apply their framework to many, many situations where it isn't relevant and obfuscates rather than illuminates.

I thought he was being cast as the person who will make TNR the "inflight magazine on airforce 1"again. If the "Defector" article is right, he's no villain - he's a tool. And will reverse the enormous advance made by TNR since the Peretz days.
