Two decades ago, the only communities where the left could exert such hegemonic control lay within academia, which gave it an influence on intellectual life far out of proportion to its numeric size. Today\u2019s political correctness flourishes most consequentially on social media, where it enjoys a frisson of cool and vast new cultural reach. And since social media is also now the milieu that hosts most political debate, the new p.c. has attained an influence over mainstream journalism and commentary beyond that of the old.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.economist.com\/news\/books-and-arts\/21640291-how-humble-mug-came-be-regarded-work-art-feat-clay?fsrc=scn\/tw\/te\/pe\/ed\/featofclay\" target=\"_blank\">How did pottery become art<\/a>? A new exhibition in Boston tells the story of American ceramics: \u201cSometimes art is defined by uselessness. An object that remains functional never quite gains the aura that is normally associated with the highest creations of the imagination \u2026 For a century and more, many ambitious ceramicists have labored to lift the status of their craft. In the process, they have left behind any notion of utility, creating objects that, while they may nod to their antecedents in the cup, the jug or the storage jar, are gloriously (and often preposterously) impractical.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Joe Franklin, who \u201cpresided over one of the most compellingly low-rent shows in television history,\u201d died last weekend at eighty-eight.
