	New York Review of Books
		In the 21 December 1995 issue of The New York Review of Books, Ian Buruma wrote a review of THE GATE OF HEAVENLY PEACE.
		The film's directors, Richard Gordon and Carma Hinton, wrote a letter in response, which was printed in The New York Review of Books (May 9, 1996) along with a reply from Ian Buruma.
		But the subject of the film, and consequently of my review, was the specific case of Tiananmen, not the heroic defiance of Wei Jingsheng, or the continuing struggle of Wang Dana and others.

		While the article typically draws on more than a single book, I like the fact that the article is typically written as a commentary around a theme and is more than a summary of the books under review.
		Reviews covered such diverse items as a collection of short stories by Graham Greene and two books about the actress Anna May Wong in addition to ALEXANDER, a film directed by Oliver Stone.
		The reader of the New York Review easily feels relieved of the cultural burden of having to read a book once having completed the sufficient burden of having read a thorough review of it.

	The New York Review of Books: Darwinian Virtues
		His new book seeks to explain cooperation, aggression, religion, trade, ecological destruction, and even what Ridley conceives to be the best form of government.
		Ridley concludes his book with a chapter "in which the author suddenly and rashly draws political lessons." Building on his argument about ecological stewardship, Ridley argues that the best government is one that devolves responsibilities back to the private sector, in the style of Margaret Thatcher's Britain.
		From reading Ridley's new book, it is nevertheless clear that evolutionary approaches to human behavior have made impressive empirical headway during the last twenty years.

	New York Review of Books
		In the winter of 1962-63, during a strike of the NY Times, Robert Silvers and a few close friends decided to launch the New York Review of Books (http://www.nybooks.com/), which is considered the premier intellectual print journal outside of academia.
		Like nearly everything else that was going on in the 1980s and 90s, the NY Review of Books began a steady shift to the right.
		It also reflected a general malaise of New Yorkers that something was deeply wrong with their beloved city, which was under siege from homeless beggars, crack-inspired violence and other threats to a perfect urban tableau lifted from the latest Woody Allen movie.

		The New York Review of Books''' (or '''NYRB) is a biweekly magazine on literature, culture, and current affairs published in New York CityNew York which takes as its point of departure that the discussion of important book reviewbooks/ is itself an indispensable literary activity.

		John Simon, the theatre critic who recently lost the position he held for 37 years as theatre reviewer at New York magazine, will have the last laugh on Sept. 14, when Applause Books lends his writings a degree of immortality by publishing them between the covers of not one, but three volumes.

		NEW YORK -- As birthday parties go, it was a bust -- seven months late and no cake.
		Celebrating was the New York Review of Books, hatched in February 1963 in the New York apartment of editor Barbara Epstein during a newspaper strike.
		Some contributors were part of the crowd that packed the historical society's elegant space across from Central Park for the celebration, joining a cross-section of New York publishers, literati and personalities, from Knopf's Sonny Mehta to the stage's Wallace Shawn.

	The New York Review of Books: Street Arab
		Some of the best of Hassam's copious painted tributes to New York City, such as Winter, Midnight (1894) and Late Afternoon, New York: Winter (1900), take fire, as it were, from a similar snow-shrouded moment, in which we feel Nature infiltrating and overshadowing a city, whose lights nevertheless continue to burn.
		Hassam returned to live not in Boston but in New York, of which he said, "To me New York is the most wonderful and most beautiful city in the world.
		As the century turns, his franchise as—as one critic said in 1892—New York's "street painter par excellence" lapses in favor of brooding apartment-bound women in kimonos and negligées, of halcyon New England scenes, of endless flowers and rocks in New Hampshire's isolated Isles of Shoals.

		Gopnik places the book's lineage in the tradition of developmental cognitive science in which the mind is likened to a computer or computational device.
		Yet, the theory behind the book as well as Professor Gardner's other writings do not fit neatly into such a procrustean bed and the educational application to schools and pedagogy is much broader than her review would suggest.
		New representations are not inherently more accurate because of their recency, but because they fail to force the learner to meld their intuitive and informal (preschool) learning with the new scholastic learning of texts and teachers.

		The Siege of Krishnapur (New York Review Books Classics) by J.
		Troubles is one of those rare books with a successful central metaphor: the hotel itself--leaking, nearly empty, infested with cats--standing in for the decaying Anglo-Irish ascendancy, as forces the Anglo-Irish barely understand creep in from outside to destroy their way of life.
		The book is funny, slyly satirical, suspenseful, and even a bit rueful for the loss of this silly way of life.

	Sokal's Hoax (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		In a different vein, Sokal gives serious consideration to a crackpot fantasy, known as the "morphogenetic field." He refers to complex number theory as a "new and still quite speculative branch of mathematical physics," while in fact it is nineteenth century mathematics and as well established as anything ever gets.
		Their belief in objective reality was reaffirmed in response to Sokal's hoax both in a letter to the New York Times by the editors of Social Text16 and in the op-ed article by Stanley Fish.
		His latest book for the general reader is Dreams of a Final Theory: The Search for the Fundamental Laws of Nature.

		The only regrettable part of this book is the second appendix, a speech that Finley later gave on Schliemann.
		Comment: "The World of Odysseus" is a book with a unique intent: use archaeology and what historians have pieced together about pre-Classical Greece to describe the society that Odysseus (and the other characters of the Odyssey/Iliad) would have known at the time of the Trojan War.
		This book is highly recommended to anyone who has ever read Homer, as well as anyone who would ever like to.

		This is good old vulgar politics, despite the pretensions." (Bellow in The New York Times, July 6, 1980) In THE ADVENTURES OF AUGIE MARCH (1953) Bellow let himself loose and abandoned some of the formal restrictions he had followed in his earlier books.
		He started to write the book in Paris, and continued it in other places, but "not a single word of the book was composed in Chicago," he later said.

	Asia Times - Asia's most trusted news source
		After all, it was in 1920 that he and a colleague, Charles Merz, wrote in their analysis of New York Times coverage of the Bolshevik Revolution between 1917 and 1920 that the newspaper's reporting on Russia during that period was "nothing short of a disaster".
		In an article in The New Republic magazine, they wrote that the Times had reported the imminent or actual end of the Soviet regime "not once or twice, but 91 times in the two years from November, 1917 to November 1919".
		That subjectivity led directly to the second problem, the one seized on by Jackson and Massing in their analyses: "boundless credulity and an untiring readiness to be gulled" by sources who shared journalists' hope and fear.

		Singer's book does take initial American reactions to the terrorist attacks of September 2001 into account; unfortunately, recent events (Project Iraq 2003, and current American foreign policy in general) have considerably altered conditions.
		The final section of the book focusses more on individual action, suggesting that everyone who can has a duty to help those who are less fortunate.

	The New York Review of Books: China's Psychiatric Terror (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		At its triennial congress in Yokohama last September, the World Psychiatric Association (WPA) overwhelmingly voted to send a delegation to China to investigate charges that dissidents were being imprisoned and maltreated as "political maniacs" both in regular mental hospitals and in police-run psychiatric custodial institutions known as the Ankang.
		Once in China the members of the WPA delegation intend to visit several of the secret Ankang mental hospitals where dissidents are confined—they are in more than a dozen large cities— and to form their own professional judgments of the conditions of the inmates.
		While Munro is explicit that his book is not an indictment of Chinese psychiatry as a whole (most Soviet psychiatrists also behaved ethically), he shows in detail that psychiatry is being used as an instrument of political persecution.
