How Jim Baen saved SF, Earth and the universe from commie leftist nihilistic postmodern anti-Western New Wave Literati.

My favourite sentence:

The "New Wave" was never really popular (New Worlds, the major New Wave magazine in Britain, was bailed out by public money after the buyers and readers stayed away in droves), but it might well have had the purely negative achievement of driving traditional science-fiction writers out of publishing.

Most people would have put "New Wave: A More Terrible Menace to SF than Evelyn E. Smith!" into a different paragraph than "New Wave: Nobody Reads it anyway." Almost nobody would have put those sentiments into the same sentence.

"In its way, and without beating up any obvious political message, Baen Books has played its part in the Culture War, on the right side"

This guy is not very good at detecting political messages, is he?
