The New Yorker Goes to War

By Daniel Lazare, The Nation
May 19, 2003

In its first issue after the fall of the World Trade Center, The New Yorker
published a handful of short reaction pieces by John Updike, Jonathan
Franzen and others about the horror that had just occurred in lower
Manhattan. Only one really stood out, however: an angry and eloquent blast
by Susan Sontag at "a robotic president who assures us that America still
stands tall" and robotic politicians who "apparently feel free to say
nothing more than that they stand united behind President Bush."
