In Memory of Irving Kristol
"Enthralling...wonderful...one of the deepest portraits ever filmed of the fluidity of ideas." - Stephen Holden, NY Times
At a time when people listened to what great thinkers had to say, Irving Howe, Daniel Bell, Nathan Glazer and Irving Kristol, who died in September, were considered four of the most brilliant and influential minds of their time, men who tried to make radical changes with their own thoughts. Given the anti-Semitic quotas and high tuitions of Ivy League universities, the four Jewish friends began their intellectual careers at City College in New York in the 1930s and continued to play a vital role in intellectual debates about McCarthyism, the New Left in the 1960s, and the Reagan revolution in the 1980s.
