Cockburn understands that Sullivan is not just forbidden from writing for the New York magazine about the riots; his contract means he cannot write on the topic for another publication. He is therefore legally unable to write anything about the protests without losing his job — at the magazine that, in 1970, published Radical Chic, Tom Wolfe’s brilliant and controversial excoriation of progressive piety. It’s the bonfire of the liberals!
I had some email exchanges with Andrew Sullivan back when I was The Inquirer's book editor. I don't always agree with him, but I throughly respect him. (Wh anyway, does one always agree with, besides oneself? And I've changed my mind a lot over the years.)
