Putting the question
An article about the historian Tony Judt referred to an essay he wrote for the New York Review of Books in 2003 and said that, just before it was published, Robert Silvers, the editor of the New York Review of Books, asked: “You are Jewish, aren’t you?” But Robert Silvers did not ask the question. An editor of the New York Times op-ed pages put the question to Judt, in 2006, in relation to a different essay published by that newspaper (Uncomfortable truths, page 11, Review, May 17). Link
