The article focuses on the book "The New Republic Reader: Eighty Years of Opinion and Debate," edited by Dorothy Wickenden. Reading Dorothy Wickenden's anthology of articles drawn from the magazines eighty-year history, one is struck by the evaporation of the reformist and radical programs that inspired its editors and contributors from 1914 to the late sixties. In her useful introduction to the collection, Wickenden admits that "brisk news analysis" has replaced the "earnest soul-searching about the future of liberalism" that formerly occupied so much space in the "front of the book" at The New Republic Reader.
