Bourgeois Abortion

IN MY COLUMN of August 4, I mentioned that Daniel Bell was preparing an article for The Public Interest on why he remains a socialist in economics while being a conservative in culture. But since Bell, the chairman of that quarterly’s Publication Committee, is currently overpublished there, he decided in the end to let Partisan Review have the piece, “Modernism and Capitalism” (PR, #2, 1978).

One of the most promising enterprises of the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C. is its Mediating Structures Project, headed by Peter L. Berger and Richard John Neuhaus. “Mediating structures” are those institutions that stand between the lonesome individual and the mighty state—institutions such as the family, church, labor union, voluntary association. The Summer 1978 Public Interest carries an article by a member of the Mediating Structures Project, Peter Skerry, entitled “The Class Conflict over Abortion.”
