Work of Human Hands
The priest had just closed the volume by Thomas Ć Kempis on the bookmark and put away what was left of the bottle of wine when the telephone rang. He answered it reluctantly and recognized Mrs. Corelli’s voice on the line, begging him to hurry and saying that the doctor was already on his way....
Uncle Sam’s Harem
These days bipolarism appears to be the āinā childhood malady touted by leftist psychologists, who previously promoted ADHD to explain away the disturbed behavior exhibited by postmodern children and adolescents.Ā The list of problems is long: antisocial behavior, poor performance in school, sexual promiscuity; depression and suicide, drug abuse and alcoholism; violence and random acts...
Is Thomas Woods A Dissenter? A Further Reply, Pt. 1
Almost five years ago I wrote for ChroniclesMagazine.org a piece attacking Thomas Woodsā views on the relationship between Catholic social teaching and the science of economics.Ā In brief, my complaint was against Woodsā contention that certain teachings of the popes on social matters overstep the boundaries of legitimate Church teaching because they contradict the findings...
The Suppression of Public Virtue
Our American government was founded on the ideal of res publia, the republic. History is filled with earnest attempts to create this idealāAthens, Sparta, Romeāall of which served America’s founders as the intellectual backdrop for a true new world order. The original conception of a classical republic held public virtue in highest esteem. Rulers, magistrates,...
The Other Pasternak
Sir Ernst Gombrich, for one, is glad to hear the news. The eminent art historian stands in the modestly furnished drawing room of his Hampstead house, leafing through his copy of Leonid Pasternak’s memoirs, recently published in England. The book’s publication had attracted the attention of the Smithsonian Institution, and the first retrospective of the...
Remembering John Taylor of Caroline
John Taylor of Caroline was a man of the American Revolution in whom the āSpirit of ā76ā informed a conservative approach to understanding the powers of government.
The Machines of Enslavement
The historically ignorant andĀ leftist-driven ā1619 Projectā ofĀ The New York TimesĀ posits a grand design to enslave blacks in the American Colonies and to perpetuate the institution by revolting against British rule and establishing the American Republic. That slavery in the colonies was the result of the genetic constraints imposed by malaria rather than a grand design...
Letter From Germany: Totalitarian Again?
On January 9, 1997, in an open letter in the New York Times to German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, American artists and intellectuals criticized the discriminatory treatment of Scientologists in Germany. Although the petitioners claimed not to be biased in their complaint by sympathy for this church, their objectivity has to be questioned, for there are...
Four More Years
Ā Ā Ā Ā “Where law ends, tyranny begins.” āWilliam Pitt On the eve of the inauguration of the second Clinton administration, reading biographies of the First Couple is like reading Airport while waiting to board a transcontinental flight. A morbid interest in gruesome facts and events is further titillated by the anticipation of horrors...
All Gone in Search of America
What does it mean to be an American? Major debates over legislation and proposed constitutional amendments raise the question. Without stretching a point too much, it is easy to see the American identity as the underlying question on the immigration issue, the Equal Rights. Amendment, and perhaps even in the debate over abortion. It comes...
Moderate Islam?
āTeachers who teach Western education?Ā We will kill them!Ā We will kill them in front of their students and tell the students to henceforth [sic] study the Koran,ā declared Abubakar Shekau, leader of the Nigerian Islamist group Boko Haram, which killed 46 students in a boarding school on July 6 (Time, July 19). Willingly or...
M.E. Bradford and the Barbarism of Reflection
Ā Ā Ā Ā “The hours of a wise man are lengthened by his ideas.”āJoseph Addison This is the first critical study of M.E.

Cobden’s Pyrrhic Victory
Bill Clinton and Richard Cobden, a 19th-century English anti-Corn Law crusader, have more in common than consonants in their surnames. As economic internationalists, both trumpeted commerce as the panacea for attaining world peace and prosperity. In their own ways, both bear responsibility for the new international economic order which rests on the twin foundations of...
Defenders of Democracy
“High ranking police officials trained by the FBI and J. armed by a U.S. marshal formed a secret unit that may have committed political murders… under the banner of counter-terrorism, the secret police turned into terrorists.” Until recently, most Americans reading such a news report would assume that it derived from the most eccentric radical...
Think Locally, Act Locally
The reaction to the U.S. Supreme Courtās decision last June in Kelo v. City of New London has largely been edifying.Ā Most commentators, and even many politicians, have greeted with horror the news that local and state governments are free to take property from one private owner to give it to another, as long as...
Is Impeachment Now Inevitable?
“There go the people. I must follow them, for I am their leader,” is a remark attributed to a French politician during the turbulent times of 1848. Joe Biden’s Wednesday declaration that President Donald Trump should be impeached is in that tradition. Joe is scrambling to get out in front of the sentiment for impeachment...
False Colors: The Case of Michael New
Until last summer, Michael New was an unknown 22-year-old Army medic, three years into his eight-year enlistment contract. But in August, New learned that he and his battalion were being assigned to Macedonia, where they would serve under the operational control of the United Nations commander, and wear the baby blue U.N. beret and a...
Hollywood Does History
At 0825 on 20 November 1943, the first of six waves of Marines left the line of departure and headed for the beach on Betio Island, the principal objective for the United States in the Tarawa Atoll.

On Hard Cases
Thomas Flemingās reflections on the Schiavo case (āNew Wine in Old Bottles,ā Perspective, May) disappointed but did not surprise me, since, a few years back, he defended our government when it handed over Elian Gonzalez to the tender mercies of a totalitarian government.Ā In both cases, the crux of his argument seems to be the...
Christophobia, Communist and Otherwise
Orthodox Archbishop Hilarion Alfeyev has recently warned Europeans of the dangers of building a completely atheist and secularized society.Ā That was the situation in Eastern Europe under communism.Ā Some of the methods may have been different, but the outcome is the same: the notion of God is expelled from society, religion is confined to the...
A Free-Minded
Douglas Young was a tall man, six feet six inches; with his beard he looked like a Calvinist Jehovah. At St. Andrews, he acquired the nickname “God” by eavesdropping on a political discussion about the Balkans. (In the 1930’s, the Balkans were full of angry ethnic factions, fighting and killing one another.) The group was...
From Mothers to Killers
Thereās no way a man can sidestep trouble writing about the prospect of women as combat troops.Ā You know, mowing the enemy down with machine guns; blowing up things, not to mention people; cutting, slicing, jabbing, stabbing, whatever it takes.Ā For such is war, the elements little different in a high-tech age from those prevalent...
Music, Technology, and Psychological Warfare
āNo change can be made in styles of music without affecting the most important conventions of society.Ā So Damon declares and I agree.ā āPlato, Republic The late Sam Shapiro used to tell a story about two Englishmen in China who wanted to demonstrate the superiority of their culture to one of the mandarins they had...
Something in Colorado
“Hear that,” Dick McIlhenny said. He removed the headset and handed it to me, while holding the Bionic Ear cupped toward the woods. “I hear it.” “What does it sound like to you?” “Footfalls, coming this way. Look at that horse.” The gelding stood at attention behind the trailer, his body rigid and his ears...
Dreams of Old Places
Wisconsin Highways 2 and 53 converge in the uplands east of Superior.Ā From here, you see Duluth climb a hillside of 1.1-billion-year-old rock that geologists call āthe Duluth Gabbro Complex.āĀ Nearer still, Superior, Wisconsin, my hometown, sprawls back from Lake Superior, the Great Sweetwater Sea, as though, like the author of this reminiscence, unsure of...

Moments in the Sun
One can no better describe the subject of this book than by quoting the publisher’s press release: Once there was a group of liberals and Leftists. They were Democrats, they were radicals, they were freedom riders. But they became disillusioned by the Left. They moved toward the Right, they opposed the anti-war movement, they made...
The Flamingo Kid
It is a truism to note that H.L. Mencken, like his great vitriolic predecessor Jonathan Swift, was a thoroughgoing misanthrope.Ā So perverse was Menckenās vision of human existence that he preferred to read King Lear as farce rather than as tragedyāsince nothing, he was fond of saying, could be more farcical than death.Ā But if...
Franklin Pierce and the Fight for the Old Union
If Franklin Pierce is remembered at all today it is as an inept, do-nothing President whose only accomplishment was to sign the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854. Historians generally cite this bill, along with the 1857 Supreme Court decision in the Dred Scott case, as evidence of the aggressive designs of the South to extend slavery...
Evangelicals on the Durham Trail
What do Billy Graham and Stanley Fish have in common? According to most assessments of the ongoing culture wars, the answer is an emphatic “not much!” With the exception of a few inconsequential detailsāboth are older white men living in North Carolina ālittle seems to unite these two figures or the movements for which they...
The Post-Suburban Jesus
By a generous estimate, evangelical Christians are as much as one third of the U.S. population.Ā In fact, they are the only Christian demographic that has shown exuberant growth in recent decadesāa period during which church attendance overall has been steadily eroding.Ā A significant part of this growth has taken place in the nondenominational or...
Vagrancy Law
San Francisco’s municipal palace looks like the Wicked Witch of the West might live there, only there aren’t any flying monkeys. But several years ago, the monkeys set up housekeeping right out front. Supplied with food, clothing, tents, and other amenities by “community activists,” hundreds of wild-eyed tramps extorted money from passersby, drank cheap wine,...
The Silent Invasion
“It is surely arguable that during the third century of American existence the main problem of this nation will beāit already isāthat of immigration and migration, mostly from the so-called Third World.” āJohn Lukacs Last year the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) apprehended 1.8 million illegal aliens along our southern borderāless than half the number...
The Justification for War
During the Cold War, occasional resorts to war or threats of war by the United States were justified by the need to keep communism in check.Ā This justification had the advantage of being based on a real threatānotably in Berlin in 1949, in Korea in 1950, and during the Cuban missile crisis in 1962.Ā The...
Dahrendorf and Burke, 1789 & 1989
Just two centuries on, an echo of Edmund Burke and his most celebrated book has opportunely come out of Oxford. It is by Sir Ralf Dahrendorf, a German-born political scientist who is now warden of St. Antony’s College there; and it is called Reflections on the Revolution in Europe in a Letter Intended to have...
Of Sam and Siddiqui
āYou know,ā he said, āI wouldnāt have let your family in, either.ā Standing in a conference room at the Congress Hotel in downtown Chicago, Sam held my gaze in that sideways glance of his, waiting to gauge my reaction. āI understand,ā I said.Ā āAnd I agree.Ā You shouldnāt have.Ā But Iām here now, so letās...
Whatās Next for the Imperial Judiciary?
āHow much power Congress has to block Supreme Court consideration of the constitutionality of its laws is an open question.āĀ This, the Washington Post said in a September 23, 2004, editorial, is āsomewhat surprising.āĀ The Post shouldnāt be so astonished, for the real surprise is that judicial supremacyāthe doctrine that the Court interprets the Constitution...

Conrad Aiken
I was to meet Cap Pearce at his office at 12:30, for discussion of a book contract and for one of our lunches at a small Italian restaurant in the East Thirties where the veal scallopini was well pounded and the wine muscular. But Cap called and said, “Come early. Conrad Aiken will be here...
The Rights of Aliens
One way of telling the story of American culture and politics in the second half of the 20th century is to present it as a revolt against the group of white Anglo-Saxon Protestant males who dominated the country from the time of William Bradford to that of Dwight David Eisenhower.Ā This narrative helps to explain...
The Uncertain Future of Bosnia
Ā Having traveled all over Bosnia and Herzegovina recently, including Sarajevo, Banja Luka, Tuzla, Doboj, Zvornik and Visegrad, I can testify thatāalmost 17 years after the end of the warāthis former Yugoslav republic is not a ācountryā but a deeply divided international protectorate. As the Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik said on July 20, it...
The Age of Reason and the Age of Fear
There are uncanny similarities between the 18th and the 21st centuries. The whole concept of liberty, equality and fraternity in the last two decades of the 18th century was as much based on a lie as it is in the first two decades of the 21st.
Whatever Happened to the New Math?
School math textbooks 50 years ago were not written by mathematicians. The typical author was the chairman of a school science department somewhere, in a district large enough to make writing a textbook remunerative even if nobody else in the country used it. That he was ignorant of mathematics was unnoticed by an ignorant public...
The āAdultsā Resume Control
At the security conference in Munich over the weekend and at the EU headquarters in Brussels on Monday, VP Mike Pence offered profuse assurances to the European elite class that the Trump administration supports unity and cohesion in the face of various threats allegedly facing the Western alliance. His remarks amounted to an explicit repudiation...
Hatemongers
What do you call a man who loves his country but is not so enthusiastic about the government that confiscates half of his income?Ā Who takes care of his own family but is not sure why, through tax policies and affirmative action, he is also supposed to take care of the children of other people...
Trigger Warnings
In a May 21, 2014, Washington Post column, Kathleen Parker alerted readers to a phenomenon in higher education termed ātrigger warnings.āĀ These are instructional caveats offered about class assignments that may contain language, situations, or expressed political, religious, or personal philosophy that might be āupsettingā to students, thereby giving them the choice to opt out...
It Takes a Village
One of the most popular fads in public education is the reintroduction of school uniforms. In some American burgs, the proposal is greeted with general approval. In many, however, school boards, administrators, parents, and pupils are put through the usual paces of reform, going from unfounded optimism through a stage of unreasoning resistance, and finally...
The Formidable Evil
Reviewing a polemical pamphlet of mine on Sovietology published by the Claridge Press in London, Arnold Beichman assured readers of the May issue of Chronicles that I am “a serious man.” The bulk of his review, however, supported the proposition that I am a conspiracy nut, a proposition whose originality the reviewer may well have...
