Mendelsohn's piece was a relentless attack on the nostalgia of adults for their childhood fantasies. Corey Robin  a wannabe leftist, is capable of nothing else. That and Mendelsohn reminded me of graduates of Wellesley who were pissed off by Mona Lisa Smile (since Alfred Barr taught the first academic course on Modern Art at Wellesley in 1926) and my mother's contempt for Todd Haynes for Far From Heaven. Haynes doing his best to undermine the world of Ozzie and Harriet that only 6 year olds at the time confused with reality.
