Talk:The Public Interest

Nomination for pov-check
I'm not terribly familiar with the subject matter, but the lack of referencing and the sweeping statements such as "eschewed foreign and defense policy," and the connection with neoconservatism (a dangerous political label if there ever was one), suggest that this article merits careful scrutiny to ensure it meets WP:NPOV.

--- "Was Irving Kristol a Neoconservative?" http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2009/09/23/was_irving_kristol_a_neoconservative "Although some rejected the label, Kristol embraced it. He started constructing a school of thought, both by fostering a network of like-minded intellectuals (particularly around the American Enterprise Institute) and by codifying what neoconservatism meant."

--- Also added the following. In light of these two references, suggest the nomination for pov-check be dropped, especially as Ray (in the first note above) admits to ignorance of the subject.
