From the title essay of
"What Are Intellectuals Good For?"
by George Scialabba:                       SCIALABBA

   "Consider the legacy of such as Stone, Nader,
   Chomsky, and Cockburn: endless engagements
   with current deceits causing or threatening
   immediate suffering to a great many actual
   people.  Unlike earlier public intellectuals,
   they have not written for the ages, but for
   present efficacy.  And the price which they
   have accepted in all seriousness, will be
   exacted: their writings will not live."
