Text: We narrowed our intellectual horizons and flattened our discourse, and more than ever, we need a critic like Steiner to remind us of what a difference that choice has made.
Entailment: We've become complacent and our discourse has suffered--critics like Steiner rekindle our passion for debate and discussion.
Contradiction: Steiner is an idiot who blathers about nothing, and contributes nothing to the general political discourse.
