We're sure the Beinarts can make this room feel more UWS.

Former New Republic Editor Peter Beinart Inks Classic Six on UWS

There’s something to be said for embracing stereotypes. At least as far as political pundit, intellectual and Open Zion editor Peter Beinart is concerned.

Sure, Mr. Beinart and his wife Diana might have found the perfect co-op in the Village or a trendy loft in Tribeca. If they wanted to follow the herd, or at least scions of The New York Times, they would have snapped up a place in Brooklyn.

But the Beinarts—who just purchased a classic six complete with great light and river views at 755 West End Avenue—are apparently in love with the Upper West Side. Read More

The narrative has gained strength from the fact Read More

Jeff Ballabon

We venture into the realm of people with actual power in Washington today with a profile of Jeff Ballabon, a little-known, extremely well-connected Jewish Republican who is among the leaders of the movement of Orthodox Jews into the Republican Party.

Peter Beinart’s definitive piece on that trend is here, but Ballabon’s a fascinating Read More

The hailstorm that’s coming down on Jonathan Pollard’s head is a veritable wonder to behold. Admirals and generals, C.I.A. directors and their minions are whispering in the ears of Seymour (Sy) Hersh, who then repeats in The New Yorker one allegation after another maintaining that Jonathan Pollard was the worst spy to ever hit the Read More
