In the latest n+1, the opening editorial (about Frederic Jameson and ways of seeing the present and the future) coins a new term:
…in one of the stealth editorials it calls ‘News Analysis,’ the Times proclaimed the end of the ‘Post-World War II Era of US Leadership’…
Stealth editorial! I’m immediately stealing that.
I also loved this towards the end of the piece:
No—real futurelessness is the terrain of the Democrats, a party stuck in a cycle of impotence that, come to think of it, resembles nothing so much as the contemporary English department: visionless, gerontocratic, hobbled by a structural incapacity to meet or even recognize its many sectoral crises.
n+1 is always a cover-to-cover read for me.
