The judgment of whether the reasons were dubious is yours, but the editors said they couldn't justify Cockburn having 2 pages when all the other columnists had one. His former second page was given over to Patricia Williams. In the letter announcing the cutback, Katrina vanden Heuvel and Victor Navasky urged Cockburn to stop attacking his Nation colleagues, and to stop attacking "our allies on the liberal-left (as deserving as they may be of criticism)."
