"The format is roughly similar to the magazine Commentary, but without the requisite Judaism or exclusive neo-conservatism," ["Midway Review" editor Rita] Koganzon said, referring to the monthly journal of the American Jewish Committee, which, although ostensibly political, also includes personal reflections and discourses on music and books.
Which means the niche of neoconservative UChicago undergraduate publication remains unfilled. I was almost the co-founder of a semi-serious neoconservative paper at Chicago, but the project never took off, in part due to the usual inertia, in part due to my ever-decreasing levels of neoconservatism. But, one wonders, if the "Midway Review" is "nonpartisan" yet based on "Commentary," why was the new publication not called "Dysentary"?
