(Introductory note:) When I was in college beginning 65 years ago, the Atlantic magazine was quite ‘highbrow, intellectually leftish, but authentic, honest, projecting believable stories and comments. I couldn’t afford subscription to any journal then, but occasionally scanned the news and magazine stands exploring for ideas. It was then when I discovered an American Communist, a young aggressive American hater of the time, today’s noted conservative well earned American hero, David Horowitz who then was spewing hatreds of Uncle Sam not unlike the B. Obama loving leftist rioters hooked up with “Black lives matter” hoodlumism.
Being a guy, I was born curious…..Being a child of the second world war, I was studying Russian as a language, and searched for knowledge and understanding.
The Atlantic was on my lists then depending upon article titles, to discover what the posh thought and wrote, but was expensive. Eventually it became a rather Marxified post during the sex, black racist, feminist, atheist, and anti-war revolution beginning in the late 1960.
The magazine has been overwhelmingly ho-hum leftist by religion ever since.
Has honesty returned as a flavor or a habit at today’s the Atlantic? This remains to be seen, but the following article, written by David A. Graham is thoughtful, without pain to read, honest, and stimulates hope that perhaps this once honorable American publication will return to America, once and for all!
Thank you David A. Graham:
