I am not sure, however, that I am always entirely impressed by the sort of thinking that Commentary offers upon matters affecting the general weal. It struck me, in reading the January and February issues this year, that I encountered more than the usual quantity of muddled thinking, as Commentary touched the sensitive issues of Nazi war crimes and the right view to adopt toward them, the guilt and punishment of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, and the regulations to govern the police.
