Podhoretz's politics are informed by the fact that black people were mean to him when he was a kid. 1/2

But personally, I'm a little tired of the accepted wisdom that Gandhi was a nonviolent saint. He and his legacy extremely toxic 2/2

Podhoretz was political. No doubt. But just talking movies, I agree with him on 3 of 4. T&L was fun. Gandhi is a 3.5 hour slog

Normal Podhoretz actually inspired some of the wittiest American prose of the late 20th Century.
