The Week

First the good news. I. F. Stone has received the Eleanor Roosevelt Peace Award for 1975, given by the Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy.

It’s all settled, complete with symbolism: New York for the Democrats, Kansas City for the Republicans. The Democrats had their eye on Los Angeles, but Governor Brown treated them like a bunch of wetbacks; so they chose New York, pointing to its perduring loyalty to the Party. Others, obviously, saw the rotting Big Apple as appropriate on other grounds; the Republicans chose Kansas City for their convention for contrapuntal reasons. “GOP Returns to Heartland,” headlined the New York Post. Couldn’t have put it better ourselves, smiled the Republicans.
