    About this ebook

    Give Paz a Chance, by Joseph P. Duggan, includes reflections on the transformation of the media industry; remembrances of political and cultural figures from the author's years in Washington politics, including finely rendered portraits of Robert Novak, Huntington Cairns, and Jeane Kirkpatrick; and observations on Mexico. Included is Duggan's 2009 “Líderes Académicos” lecture at Tecnológico de Monterrey, “Life After Liquidation of the Fourth Estate: New Media versus Gnostic Bureaucracies.” The title essay lauds Octavio Paz's commitment to criticism as a way of thinking with integrity, as ”the imagination cured of fantasies and determined to face the world's realities.”

      Mar 16, 2017

      For years I knew Kanishk Tharoor primarily as the author of thoughtful essays about history, in the broadest sense: not just what happened in the past but also how humans have explored the past, made sense of the past, contested the past. So when I s
