A New Turn at Arthur's
By Irving Howe
The Bitter Heritage
by Arthur Schlesinger Jr.
Houghton, Mifflin, 126 pp., $3.95
Arthur Schlesinger has moved a considerable distance since the well-publicized symposium on Vietnam which the Theatre of Ideas held last year in New York. There his views struck me, and others, as unsettled. By contrast, his new book is a clear statement of opposition to the Johnson policy; and though it contains little in the way of fresh argument or evidence, the mere fact that Mr. Schlesinger has chosen to write it seems of political importance.
