I forgot to mention a letter by Tom Hayden that appeared in December in NYTimes Book Review criticizing the fatuous Christopher Hitchen's "analysis" of Port Huron. The Vanity Fair contributor misrepresented this important historical pronouncement so he could,Taki-like, appear cute as an intellectual button.
