PARTISAN REVIEW
theirs is the "serious" side of the magazine, on which the literature is
merely so much froth. Also, as literature is supposed to be perma–
nent and politics is day-to-day, one is always being asked to
postpone publication of a poem or story, because it will be just as
good in ten years' time as it is today, whereas the article on Vietnam
has to be published immediately. I'm very glad to be away from that.
I'd much rather be teaching.
