Was somewhat amused by this paragraph; 'He sees The New Republic as a place "of liberal values. And by that I mean values that embrace the core American ideals of freedom, equality and an American responsibility to make the world a better place."' There are strong echoes of Citizen Kane. I wonder how long his 'Declaration of Principles' will last.
