N.J. Robinson Impossibilities No Longer Stood in the Way My Affairs A MEMOIR OF THE MAGAZINE INDUSTRY (2016-2076) N.J. Robinson Impossibilities no longer stood in the way. One’s life had fattened on impossibilities. Before the boy was six years old, he had seen four impossibilities made actual—the ocean-steamer, the rail- way, the electric telegraph, and the Daguerreotype; nor could he ever learn which of the four had most hurried others to come… In 1850, science would have smiled at such a romance as this, but, in 1900, as far as history could learn, few men of science thought it a laughing matter. — The Education of Henry Adams I was emerging from these conferences amazed and exalted, con- vinced, one might say. It seemed to me that I traveled through Les Champs Elysées in a carriage pulled by two proud lions, turned into anti-lions, sweeter than lambs, only by the harmonic force; the dolphins and the whales, transformed into anti-dolphins and into anti-whales, made me sail gently on all the seas; the vul- tures, turned anti-vultures, carried me on their wings towards the heights of the heavens. Magnificent was the description of the beauties, the pleasures, and the delights of the spirit and the heart in the phalansterian city. — Ion Ghica My Affairs have been editing a magazine now for almost exactly sixty years. I hope to live a good while longer—life expectancy is shooting up so fast that now, at age eighty- Iseven, I may still not have reached my halfway point. Yet sixty is the sort of number that leads one to reflect. Not reflect very deeply, necessarily. My thoughts so far have mostly been limited to “My God, that is so many years” and “Hooray for not having expired.” But it is quite a bit of time, and it is shocking to me that there is still living flesh atop my skeleton (a rather grotesque way to put it, sorry). So many pictures have formed and dissolved before my eyes, so many events that once drew my absolute attention are now forgotten. To think of all that has happened! I have fifty books to my name, but not one of them is autobi- ographical. Friends tell me I am now entitled to the indulgence of a memoir. But I am not trying to tell my life story. For one thing, my “autobiography” is dull as can be. While I have met many remarkable people, and seen countless extraordinary things, it has not been a life of adventure and escapade. That is by choice: I am a homebody and a bookworm by disposition. I am still, after all these years, unnerved by flying. God only knows how I shall feel if 4 My Affairs I am chosen to embark upon that Great Voyage abroad. (Of course I put my name down—wouldn’t anyone?) I prefer my burrow. A cup of tea and a slice of Victoria sponge. Sitting out on the gallery watching the plants grow. In college, my Latin American History professor used to repeat the cryptic phrase “Brazilian history is written from the hammock.” If so, I aspire to emulate the great Brazilian historians. Vigorous exercise, yes. But travel—not so much. For one thing, I’m always misplacing something en route. Last time it was my handkerchief. The time before that it was my granddaughter. (She was found.) So I do not want to tell you too much about me, for I find myself uninteresting and doubtless you would agree. Instead, I am mostly concerned to record my observations of the times through which I have lived. I have been fortunate, supremely so, to bear witness to some of the most rapid changes in human history: the dawn of the internet, the onset of the Climate Crisis, the Trump Presi- dency, the Red Wave, the Reaction, the onset of Gna, the collapse of Canada, the spread of the DSW, the establishment of the Pub- lic Times, the New Global Rights Framework, the decline of the “nation-state,” the creation of the GHS, the decommodifcation push, the (disastrous) cloning of the Beatles, the exile of the titans, the hideous collapse of the Galt Village and subsequent renation- alization of the moon, the birth of the first Pleasant City, the rev- olution in architecture, the museum disseminaton movement, the closing of the last prison, and, of course, the birth and progression of the Great Voyage ahead. My personal life may not have been a swashbuckling and adventuresome one, but I have certainly had the curse of interesting times. Lately I have been trying to recall what it felt like to live before any of this. It is not easy. Once history has happened, it seems inevitable. You can’t imagine it being any other way. It can be hard even to convince yourself that it was any other way. What My Affairs 5 is written is written. Yet if you had told me what was about to unfold, back when I was starting out in publishing, it would have been impossible to believe. Frankly, if you had described the world of 2018 to the me of 2008, it would have seemed unbe- lievable. But things were only just beginning to get remarkable. I don’t know why I should still feel surprised, but I do. The people of 1905 would have been astonished and horrified by the world of 1945. Or compare 1985 and 1945. The whole world alters every few decades, why should I have expected it to slow itself? Human beings lived the same way for tens of thousands of years. Then we started living in different ways in every generation. It’s disorienting to experience this. I have been fortunate that most of what I have been here for has been positive. So many people who have lived have not been afforded the kind of life I have had. They have died in childbirth, or starved to death, or been sent to war, or spent 40 years toiling for the company only to be laid off with a week’s pay. Compare the 20th century to the 21st, and who could take the 20th? So far, except- ing some blips of misfortune in the first few decades, we seem to have turned things around. William F. Buckley, a conservative fogey once renowned, said that he was “standing athwart history, shouting ‘stop.’” I have been marching beside history saying “Well done, can I get you anything?” I write this book in part, however, to show that it could have gone in a much different, much darker direction, and to encourage us not to take our achievements for granted. You may be familiar with the magazine I run, Current Affairs. At one time around midcentury we had the second-highest circula- tion of any print periodical in the contiguous United States, after Jacobin. (In Alaska, the Alaska Advertiser has consistently beaten both of us.) Nowadays, in a post-localization media landscape, a magazine like ours is less in tune with the public taste. Circulation 6 My Affairs is back around 100,000, which is where I like it. It is my fervent hope that I do not come across a tedious old fool in these pages. Perhaps I won’t. For one thing, I am not really “old”—if the actuarial tables are right, I am still downright larval. But tedious and foolish, well, that is for you to decide. I think, given the awesome nature of what I have experienced and wit- nessed, my recollections may offer the present and future reader some value. If not, I set them down here for the sake of the record. u u u u e can skip the early years. Needless to say, I was born. I Wloafed about a bit. The years from 0-5 were largely unpro- ductive. 5-10 was where things really hotted up. I received the fin- est education Southwest Florida had to offer, which was probably worse than nothing. Universities were attended. Friendships came and went. I enrolled in graduate education at the nation’s premiere institute of learning. I was not asked to leave Harvard. Rather, I left and was asked not to return. I had reasoned, soundly, that one’s graduate work could be done just as profitably from a balcony in the French Quar- ter as from the Yard, and so soon after enrolling I had retreated southward. My advisor emailed from time to time, asking when I planned to show myself again in the quadrangle. I replied to only some of these notes, informing him that because the internet had not yet been introduced to New Orleans, it would be impossible for me to maintain regular correspondence. Eventually, he gave up the attempt. A year later, the University sent me a polite letter ter- minating my formal relationship with it. I sighed, but by that time my attention was firmly on other things. There was a reason for this inattention to my studies. I was not one of these types who comes to New Orleans to sleep until noon My Affairs 7 and write poems about magnolias. I had come because it was the Cultural Capital of America, and to a young man seeking success in the publishing industry, I thought there was no better place to be. It turned out, however, that this was a personal delusion of my own, and had nothing to do with the truth. By the time I arrived in the autumn of 2015, all of the big newsmagazines had relocated to the two major coasts.

  • Chapter One: Postwar Resentment and the Invention of Middle America 10
    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Jeffrey Christopher Bickerstaff Doctor of Philosophy ________________________________________ Timothy Melley, Director ________________________________________ C. Barry Chabot, Reader ________________________________________ Whitney Womack Smith, Reader ________________________________________ Marguerite S. Shaffer, Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT TALES FROM THE SILENT MAJORITY: CONSERVATIVE POPULISM AND THE INVENTION OF MIDDLE AMERICA by Jeffrey Christopher Bickerstaff In this dissertation I show how the conservative movement lured the white working class out of the Democratic New Deal Coalition and into the Republican Majority. I argue that this political transformation was accomplished in part by what I call the "invention" of Middle America. Using such cultural representations as mainstream print media, literature, and film, conservatives successfully exploited what came to be known as the Social Issue and constructed "Liberalism" as effeminate, impractical, and elitist. Chapter One charts the rise of conservative populism and Middle America against the backdrop of 1960s social upheaval. I stress the importance of backlash and resentment to Richard Nixon's ascendancy to the Presidency, describe strategies employed by the conservative movement to win majority status for the GOP, and explore the conflict between this goal and the will to ideological purity. In Chapter Two I read Rabbit Redux as John Updike's attempt to model the racial education of a conservative Middle American, Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, in "teach-in" scenes that reflect the conflict between the social conservative and Eastern Liberal within the author's psyche. I conclude that this conflict undermines the project and, despite laudable intentions, Updike perpetuates caricatures of the Left and hastens Middle America's rejection of Liberalism.

  • Flouting the Establishment
    Flouting The Establishment February 18, 2020 Category: Domestic Politics Download as PDF If those who are not ideologically-committed to the ultra-right-wing want a desirable outcome in the 2020 presidential election, it is important they understand why NON-ultra-right-wing endeavors (encompassing Progressives and corporatist Democrats alike) imploded four years earlier. It was not because the Democratic candidate was too far to the “Left”. And it certainly was not because she was too populist…let alone too Progressive. It was because Hillary Clinton–the only alternative to Donald Trump–was off- putting to many swing voters. There were two main reasons for this: She countenanced some of the daft pieties of political correct-ness, which many swing-voters found off-putting. As a corporatist Democrat, she was effectively the vicar of the very thing that on-the-fence voters were so set against: the “Establishment”. There were, of course, a confluence of factors that led to the disastrous outcome in 2016–among them: the glaring inauthenticity of Trump’s adversary (not to mention the DNC’s now-exposed machinations to prevent Bernie Sanders from receiving the Democratic nomination). {1} As I hope to show here, these two factors explain Clinton’s loss. Indeed, they represented things for which the rank and file had–and continues to have–contempt; and for very good reason. (The fact that Clinton ran what Barack Obama described as a “scripted, soul-less campaign” didn’t help either.) There are effectual and ineffectual ways to promote Progressive ideals; and the 2016 election illustrated–more than anything else–what NOT to do.

  • Constructing Neo-Conservatism
    Stephen Eric Bronner Constructing Neo-Conservatism by Stephen Eric Bronner eo-conservatism has become both a code word for reactionary thinking Nin our time and a badge of unity for those in the Bush administration advocating a new imperialist foreign policy, an assault on the welfare state, and a return to “family values.” Its members are directly culpable for the disintegration of American prestige abroad, the erosion of a huge budget surplus, and the debasement of democracy at home. Enough inquiries have highlighted the support given to neo-conservative causes by various businesses and wealthy foundations like Heritage and the American Enterprise Institute. In general, however, the mainstream media has taken the intellectual pretensions of this mafia far too seriously and treated its members far too courteously. Its truly bizarre character deserves particular consideration. Thus, the need for what might be termed a montage of its principal intellectuals and activists. Montage NEO-CONSERVATIVES WIELD EXTRAORDINARY INFLUENCE in all the branches and bureaucracies of the government. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz really require no introduction. These architects of the Iraqi war purposely misled the American public about the existence of weapons of mass destruction, a horrible pattern of torturing prisoners of war, the connection between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda, the celebrations that would greet the invading troops, and the ease of setting up a democracy in Iraq. But they were not alone. Whispering words of encouragement was the notorious Richard Perle: a former director of the Defense Policy Board, until his resignation amid accusations of conflict of interest, his nickname—“the Prince of Darkness”—reflects his advanced views on nuclear weapons.

Bush administration’s foreign policy are becoming. “Acquiring additional burdens by engag- ing in new wars of liberation is the last thing the United States needs,” declared one Bush critic in Foreign Affairs. “The principal problem is the mistaken belief that democracy is a talisman for all the world’s ills, and that the United States has a responsibility to promote dem- ocratic government wherever in the world it is lacking.”1 Does this sound like a Democratic pundit bashing Bush for par- tisan gain? Quite the contrary. The swipe came from Dimitri Simes, president of the Nixon Center and copublisher of National Interest. Simes is not alone in calling on the administration to reclaim the party’s pre-Reagan heritage—to abandon the moralistic, Wilsonian, neoconservative dream of exporting democracy and return to a more limited and realistic foreign policy that avoids the pitfalls of Iraq. 1.

  • Norman Podhoretz: a Biography"
    Books Book Review: "Norman Podhoretz: A Biography" By Thomas L. Jeffers (Cambridge University Press). By Saul Rosenberg '93GSAS | Fall 2010 Norman Podhoretz, a maker of friends, ex-friends, and enemies. (David Howells / Corbis) John Gross, the English literary critic, was once in a magazine office in New York when the secretary called across the room to him: “John, there’s a Mr. Podhoretz on the phone for you.” As Gross recalled, “I felt every pair of eyes drilling into me, as though she’d said, ‘There’s a Mr. Himmler on the phone for you.’” This anecdote, retold by Thomas Jeffers in his Norman Podhoretz: A Biography, nicely sums up what many people feel about “Mr. Podhoretz.” He is hated by liberals for his turn to the right at the end of the sixties, and particularly loathed for his energetic support of Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and the Iraq War. So it is good someone should remind us, as Jeffers admiringly does, that Podhoretz is a first- class intellectual of enormous culture and considerable humanity. Podhoretz ’50CC was a first-generation American prodigy, an acute reader initially of literature and then politics, whose aggressive intellect took him from beat-up Brownsville through a glittering student career at Columbia College and Cambridge University to the editorship of Commentary at age 30. He edited the monthly from 1960 to 1995 into a publication The Economist once mused might be “the best magazine in the world.” In the last 25 years of his tenure, Podhoretz helped found and lead the neoconservative revolution that insisted, against some popular and much elite opinion, that America was, for all its faults, a clear force for good in the world.
