One of the better essays I've seen by Noam Chomsky recently--and it includes a link at the end to the original 1967 essay, which appeared in The New York Review of Books. (It is telling about the increasing triviality of the political commentary in the New York Review of Each Other's Books over the last generation that the new Chomsky essay appears in Boston Review instead.)
