I would like the first line of the entry on the New English Review to be changed to 'conservative' from 'far right.' I have been writing a column for the Review for more than a year: all my contributions are strictly non-political. (I will be glad to send any or all of them to you.) I am a veteran journalist from Britain and have worked for newspapers on the left (such as the Guardian) the Daily Telegraph (right) and as a freelance commentator for the BBC (center.) I was chief business writer for the Telegraph before moving to the US. I have a website: nicholasgreen.org. I pride myself that for all types of publications I have written for I have maintained my independence: at age 92(!) I was not willing to give that up when I began writing for the Review and, in fact, the editors have never once asked me what my political views are and have never changed a word of my articles for political reasons. The sources cited in the Wikipedia article are all political opponents of the Review.'Far right' and 'hard right' suggest extremism and bias: they are not objective assessments. It is true that some Review contributors are right wing but it is an unfair description of the magazine. I hope you will make this small but serious change -- Reg Green
