 As the years progressed Beichman became closer to several New York intellectuals affiliated with Columbia, including [[Lionel Trilling]], and operated a sort of salon out of his apartment. This influenced his decision to return to school.

+He recalls that, during his oral examinations, he was not asked anything about the books he was assigned to read, only about events taking place in Czechoslovakia at the time, the spring of [[1968]]. He then commenced his dissertation research on the British Conservative Party, spending a semester in the UK. During this period, when he, his wife, and his children were all in school, he claims to have supported his family entirely by playing the stock market.

+He was editor-in-chief of ''[[Spectator]]'' and had a flourishing career in journalism before returning to academia in his fifties to study for a graduate degree in [[PoliSci]]. Two events stand out during his period at the ''Spec''. In [[1934]], he reported on the [[1934 Purim dance|anti-Semitic incident]] that took place at that year's Purim dance, over the objections of Jewish students worried it would only damage their reputation. He also led a group of northern students in a protest against the mistreatment of black students during a student journalism conference at the then-segregated Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC. This impressed an editor for the ''[[New York Times]]'' so much that young Beichman was given a gig as freelancer for the paper right out of college.
