Hitchens No Orwell

[Justin Schwartz]

Some are, most aren't, just like anyone else. But curl up with, e.g., 
Posner's Law and Literature, and tell me if you can (a) stop reading and (b) 
deny he's thoughtful. Or, I was looking at a recently recovered book, Scott 
Arnold's Philosophy and Economics of Market Socialism; Scott's a friend, a 
right winger, and one of the bnest critics, in the good sense, taht the left 
has, the kind of critic that keeps you honest, sensitive, sympathetic, 
reflective, honest, and careful. And smart. We should be so good on average.
