A NEW CHAMP. This is even more evidence that the late Abe Rosenthal's crown as Positively The Worst Published Writer Ever is being struck even more daily into the hazard by Marty Peretz. I won't bother totaling up the productive and talented people produced by places like Georgetown or Notre Dame. I won't even stick up for my own alma mater, Marquette University. Rather, I would just point out that, by any standard he has used in the past to glibly accuse someone of anti-Semitism, and even by the standards he uses in this very post, Peretz has written an opening paragraph of pure, old-fashioned American nativist anti-Catholicism.
