Martin Peretz (also Marty Peretz) is a Harvard lecturer who is the owner and editor-in-chief of The New Republic, which he purchased in 1975.
Is Peretz the sole owner of The New Republic? According to this article in The Daily News, "New York financiers Michael Steinhardt and Roger Hertog, now chairman, bought two-thirds of the Washington-based mag in 2001 from editor in chief Martin Peretz, previously the chairman and sole owner." - New York Daily News, August 20, 2004, Business, pg. 44.

[edit] accusations against Indyk
Why were these removed? I think it's relevant to the larger article about Peretz.
- For reasons of verifiability. Please provide sources to back up your additions. In fact, the whole article needs to be properly sourced and fact-checked. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 05:19, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Dean's "anti-Israel" candidacy
I think it's inaccurate to characterize Howard Dean's candidacy as "anti-Israel" (as the current version of this article does). While Dean was criticized for calling for an "even-handed" approach to Israel/Palestine, his proposed Israel policy was not that different from that of George Bush or John Kerry, and his campaign co-chair was former AIPAC president Steven Grossman, who could hardly be called antagonistic to Israel. [2] --(Somewhat later edit: I've edited out the "anti-Israel" descriptor; if this is a problem I'm sure it can be handled here)
[edit] Basic details, DOB, etc.
Is there any available information on his date of birth? I've been trying to find it somewhere but can't.
[edit] Bias in quotations
This article suffers from major neutrality issues... the whole things reads like one long criticism of Martin Peretz
In addition to article bias, pretty much the whole list of quotations singles out from the huge body of Peretz's writing only his comments on Israel and the Arabs...the selection of quotations seems more geared towards proving the points of Anti-Peretz critics than providing a reasonable scope of his writing, editorial stance, and beliefs —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Asherba2 (talk • contribs) 18:23, 31 March 2007 (UTC).
