(Part 3 of 3) Think Tank with Ben Wattenberg Orwell's Century. The year 2003 marks the centennial of author George Orwell's birth. Although Orwell himself disdained what he called "all the smelly little ... all ยป orthodoxies," both liberal and conservative social critics claim him as a prime influence. Think Tank explores how Orwell's writing shaped the twentieth century's war of ideas. Guests: John Rodden, author of George Orwell, The Politics of Literary Reputation and the forthcoming, George Orwell: Scenes From and Afterlife; and Christopher Hitchens, columnist for The Nation, and author of the forthcoming book, Orwell's Victory.

  • Thanks. It always ...

    Thanks. It always astonishes me how many people equate neo-conservatism with religious right, or solely 'jewish', or as being anti-liberal.
