Radin on Toynbee

Sirs,

The attack of one section of the liberal left upon Toynbee could be discerned even before it was launched. The first such attack I saw was a review by Paul M. Sweezy in the Nation; the second was Mr. Paul Radin’s review in the last Kenyon. Both reviews seemed to me to make plain some of those points at which the contemporary liberal mind becomes incapable of dealing with great intellect and passion.
