Abstract
“In 1984,” runs the second sentence of Bruce Robbins' introduction to Intellectuals, “former Secretary of Education William Bennett's To Reclaim a Legacy began a counteroffensive against the changes wrought in American education and cultural life by or since the 1960s — changes to whose description and defense Social Text devoted The Sixties without Apology, published by the University of Minnesota Press in the same year.” This awkward sentence hints at what is to come: self-promotion and self-delusion. The notion that the government attacked and Social Text replied with a special issue is delicious, recalling the good old days of leftist hallucinations.
