The Spectator, having quite recently been a very bad magazine, is at present a very good one. For that Mr. Alexander Chancellor, its editor, and Mr. Henry Keswick, its proprietor, both of whom took over last year, deserve much praise.
The Spectator today plays a very important part in the most interesting intellectual movement of our times. Just as the New Statesman was the leading intellectual magazine of the movement of collectivism in the 1930s and 1940s, so now The Spectator is the leading intellectual magazine of the movement away from collectivism in the 1970s.
