Sorry, my mistake. At some point in the early to mid 90s, several of the 
regular columnists were threatening to leave. Can't remember if this 
involved Pollitt, Cockburn, or Hitchens. I just remember being miffed 
enough to not renew my subscription (combined with the Nation cruise 
bullshit).

"...ironically, perhaps, the best organised dissenters in
the world today are anarchists, who are busily
undermining capitalism while the rest of the left is
still trying to form committees."
