      6. Another example of missing the point is this Slate piece which reduces objections to TNR to Bell Curve:http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/culturebox/2014/12/new_republic_staff_changes_what_the_debate_about_the_magazine_reveals_about.html …

      7. Let's be blunt: even if New Republic had never excerpted Bell Curve as cover story, magazine would have a dire history on racism

      8. The magazine's treatment on race has to be contextualized in its historical role as voice of technocratic Ivy League liberalism

      9. From inception in 1914, TNR was magazine for Harvard graduates (Croly, Lippmann) who wanted to lead progressive coalition.

      10. With the rise of the new social movements of the 1960s, there was society wide push for inclusiveness on gender and race lines.

      11. The push for greater inclusiveness had intense salience in left and Democratic party.

      12. What distinguished Peretz's TNR is that it resisted this new push for inclusiveness, both ideologically and in hiring practices.

      13. Peretz's TNR makes sense as attempt to progressive coalition the same as it was under Croly/Lippmann: a Harvard boy's club.

      14. Here's the think I noticed even as a teenage reader of TNR: it had far less non-white and female voices than even the conservative mags

      16. National Review & Commentary had Jeanne Kirkpatrick, Midge Decter, Linda Chavez, Tom Sowell, etc. TNR much more white male

      17. As far as I know, in its entire history TNR has had two black staffers. The excellent Dayo Olopade was one.

          18. RT @tomscocca Not just resisted, but countered. That inclusiveness had gone too far was its '80s-'90s guiding principle.

          19. As @tomscocca rightly notes, TNR actively tried to counter inclusiveness.
