	Paul Johnson (journalist) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Paul Johnson (born Paul Bede Johnson on November 2, 1928 in Manchester, England) is a British Roman Catholic historian, journalist, speechwiter and author.
		Johnson became a liberal during this period as he witnessed, in May 1952, the police response to a riot in Paris, the "ferocity [of which] I would not have believed had I not seen it with my own eyes." Subsequently, he also served as the New Statesman's Paris correspondent.
		Johnson is a critic of modernity because of what he sees as its moral shortcomings.

		However such a contrast betrays the larger problem with Johnson's characterisation of intellectuals, for even if one accepts the excessively dark picture that he paints of his subjects' personal lives and qualities, it is nevertheless out of this gloom that their works, which even Johnson admits are of lasting quality, emerged.
		Johnson's method in the series of case studies that make up his book is to "focus on the moral and judgemental credentials of intellectuals to tell mankind how to conduct itself.
		Even Paul Johnson, who seems to believe that any interest in intellectuals is misplaced, has nevertheless not entirely escaped their allure, having written several hundred pages on the subject even if these are mostly filled with denunciation in the name of common sense and a desire to expose hypocrisy.

	The Modern Library \| Authors
		Johnson eventually leads the way into a small study, a closet really, where he produced these books, along with his new epic, the 1,100-page ''A History of the American People,'' which was released in the United States two weeks ago and is also expected to become a best seller.
		Rousseau, Johnson writes, ''liked to be spanked on his bare bottom.'' Marx seldom bathed and ''took very little exercise, ate highly spiced food, often in large quantities, smoked heavily, drank a lot.'' Johnson's intellectuals, then, are men on the left who behaved badly.
		Johnson also shares another trait of the intelligentsia: a tendency to be dazzled by fame and power.

	Books in Review: The Quest for God (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		One reason for Johnson's success as a popular historian is that, unlike many academic historians today, he understands that history, if it is to be compelling, must present past events as an unfolding human drama: it must, in other words, tell a story, and one with a moral.
		Johnson is an accomplished storyteller, having early on perfected the knack of distilling whole libraries of fact into coherent narratives that delight as they instruct.
		Johnson is particularly eloquent on what used to be called the cosmological argument for God's existence: the ways in which order and beauty point beyond themselves to a divine artificer.

		Johnson (Intellectuals) is a product not of the cloistered academy but of the rough-and-tumble world of British journalism (before his conversion to Toryism he edited the left weekly New Statesman).
		The quick, forceful judgments Johnson makes on the art and artists he encounters are always amusing and sometimes enlightening, particularly his attention to the undervalued "regional" realist traditions of the 19th century.
		Johnson believes that art is essential to humankind's well-being, and he begins his great trek by marveling over the sophistication of cave paintings and the continuity of vision over many generations required for the building of Stonehenge and Europe's magnificent medieval cathedrals.

	Feud - and it's a scorcher! Independent, The (London) - Find Articles
		The vendetta between Paul Johnson and the Guardian, although it may not have the intellectual clout of the Vladimir Nabokov-Edmund Wilson row in the Fifties nor the bitchiness of the Gore Vidal-Truman Capote imbroglio in the Sixties, is shaping up very nicely.
		Johnson accuses the Guardian's former editor, Peter Preston, of forgery, brings up the affair of Guardian journalist Richard Gott and the KGB, and belabours the paper's new editor, Alan Rusbridger, for running the splash "A Liar and a Cheat" about Neil Hamilton.
		Because journalists are ugly, stunted, poor, henpecked and frustrated (unlike Aitken and, by extension, Johnson) and thus terribly jealous of the defence procurer's charm, house, family, manners and panache.

	Life Through Art's Prism
		Johnson: This is a man of superb talent, both in oil and watercolor, a wonderful draftsman, very largely self-taught, who came to the fore during the Civil War and did some beautiful drawings for illustrated newspapers during the Civil War and then went on to do these magnificent seascapes and inshore waterscapes.
		Johnson: I also do oils occasionally, but I like watercolor because always when I was traveling around the world I could take a little paint box with me and a pad and if I had half an hour, if I was in Bangkok or Nairobi or whereever it was, I could do a little painting.
		Johnson: It is. You're not going to become a good portrait painter unless you're really interested in people and not just their outward appearance, their face and figure and so on, but what's going on inside.
