Horowitz on Jacoby

[Uday Mohan]

I don't know what the ideological issues are in Horowitz on Jacoby, but
back in 1995 Jacoby eagerly joined the braying herd of journalists
attacking the Smithsonian for contemplating a critical look at the
Hiroshima bombing. So Jacoby's been a likely conservative in my book
(though conservatives weren't the only ones who piled on against the
Smithsonian; e.g., the Wash Post did too).
