Tanenhaus at NY Times Book Review.
Historian Ron Radosh writes on CNET in praise of Tanenhaus's appointment: "In the true sense of the word, Sam [Tanenhaus] is a defender of the best of the liberal tradition in America. He is a man of great intellect and literacy, who looks at things independently. For example, although I disagree with him about his positive evaluation of Cornel West, those who read his article on West in Vanity Fair realize that he calls them as he sees them, without seeing any necessity to adhere to any particular party line .. Could it not be that Bill Keller and the other NYT editors realize that someone with Sam's erudition
and intellect is the perfect candidate to improve and strengthen the NYTBR?".
