very satisfactory way of dealing with the questions posed by the original
deception about their financing. Obviously, intellectual and literary pub–
lications must have their biases; and they often receive contributions
from various individuals and foundations who share these biases. But
if
they are to have the respect of an international intellectual community
and any influence on it, it seems to us a basic principle that their
steady support should be of a kind-and this may include grants from
the government-which they are not ashamed to make public, so that
there can
be
no question of their editorial bias being affected by sur–
reptitious financial support.
