Document Summary
Partisan review- small circulation journal, getting a piece in the journal was a good way to get noticed, not writing for specialists but to an educated public. People with power and money read it, politicians kept aware of the information/ questions and opinions in it. Signifies that the person writes for the general educated public, not to specific group of people. Debating theoretical possibilities, not saying this is what you should do . Podhoretz= mostly conservative pov (emphasis on tradition and religious perspective) New york intellectuals (concentration of writing/ intellectual elite) not seen anywhere else.

The boss is elliot cohen (said by podhoretz) Richard hofstadter- us historian, anti-intellectualism in the united states . The new republic- read by a lot of congress.
