Midge Decter, who died today at the age of 94, began her relationship with COMMENTARY in 1950 when she came to work as a secretary for Robert Warshow, its managing editor. By 1954, newly divorced from her first husband, she returned to the job and also began her career as a writer with “On the Horizon: Belittling Sholom Aleichem’s Jews,” which was published in April 1954. Her final article, “Kennedyism at Rest,” appeared 55 years later, in our October 2009 issue. Sixty-seven pieces appeared between them. Here’s a sample of the rest of her COMMENTARY contributions.
