Love and Hate in Dixie
“I will never be able to hold her again, but I forgive you.” So said Nadine Collier, who lost her mother in the massacre at the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, offering forgiveness to Dylann Roof, who confessed to the atrocity that took the lives of nine churchgoers at that Wednesday night prayer...
Resurrecting the Old Right
For those who may have noticed, Iāve been absent from this venerable magazine for more than 12 years. Upon returning, I feel obliged to give an account of what Iāve learned in the intervening time. Aside from visiting my family and doing research for several monographs, Iāve been pondering the vicissitudes of the American right....

Eat, Drink, and Be Merry
The inaugural editorial of the Nicotine Theological Journal (January 1997) took a few fun swipes at teetotalers and scolds (including Al Gore), who admittedly, in the words of Garrison Keillor, ālive longer, but they live dumber.āĀ āThe sun,ā the editors quoted C.S. Lewis as saying, ālooks down on nothing half so good as a household...
Renaming God
We were ambushed last Christmas Eve by a gang of politicians disguised as Presbyterian clergy and elders. The scene was a sanctuary; the occasion a candlelight service. The weapons our assailants used were so subtle: newly printed orders of service with the lyrics to all those familiar Christmas hymns set forth where they were to...
Democrats Demand Justice Alito Control His Wife
Thereās a delicious irony in the leftist mediaās calls for Justice Samuel Alito to control his wifeās political expression.
Under Attack
Western civilization is under attack at American colleges and universities. The most publicized series of incidents is the willingness of the Stanford University faculty to introduce a replacement for Western civilization that includes equal time for minority contributions and women authors. Presumably what the Stanford faculty has responded to is the charge that the reading...
Why Republicans Struggle to Gain the Black Vote
Acts of contrition can never endear the Republican Party to black Americans. Republicans have assumed the opposite for decades, thinking that blacks will reward them with support for their energetic pandering. What Republicans fail to realize is that black people view voting as an expression of group solidarity. This solidarity is crucial to theĀ identityĀ of black...
The University of Pennsylvania Strikes a Blow Against Free Speech

2020: America’s Wake-Up Call
Who could have predicted how dreadful a year 2020 would be? By this New Year’s Eve, 19 million to 20 million Americans will have contracted a deadly virus in a pandemic that exploded out of China to carry off 333,000 Americans, one of every 1,000 of us. As 2021 begins, Americans will be dying at...
Requiem for a Remainer
It is time to ring down the curtain on the troubled rule of Theresa May.Ā May became Prime Minister as the result of a series of flukes, which a scriptwriter would have dismissed as too implausible to work.Ā She was home secretary in the Cameron Government, and cannot have entertained serious hopes beyond retaining her...
Piltdown Man
Virginia Woolf once wrote that human nature suddenly changed in the year 1912.Ā Such things tend to be at the whim of later generations of critics, but thereās no doubt that the idea of an acceptable form of public entertainment underwent a rude shock in the years just before the outbreak of World War I.Ā ...
Packing the “All-America City”
Perhaps one can forgive Vernon Taylor for indulging in a bit of self-aggrandizement. After all, as the Green Bay Press-Gazette‘s newest “diversity” columnist, he’s now a recognizable face, a household name, a minor celebrity in a fabled National Football League city. His opinions on race, culture, and politics are read by tens of thousands of...
On the Mountain Meadows
I was very disappointed to see William Griggās āFrontier Talibanā (Reviews, December 2002) in Chronicles.Ā Mr. Grigg either is laughably ignorant of the history of the Mountain Meadows Massacre or is content to promote Will Bagleyās agenda, put forth in his book, Blood of the Prophets: Brigham Young and the Mountain Meadows Massacre.Ā Mr. Bagley...

Manly Codes
When Chuck Yeager was shot down behind enemy lines in World War II, shrapnel wounds in his feet and hands, German Messerschmitts still above him, he remained calm and controlled. “Back home,” he said, “if we had a job to do, we did it. And my job now is to evade capture and escape.” When...
A Bad Lie
The great evil of the modern age is the ability of modern states to destroy or suppress independent social authorities and to concentrate power to the center. The horrors of the 20th centuryāworld wars, totalitarian revolutions, mass killings of millions by the stateācould not have happened without a concentration of power unprecedented in history. The...
Donald Trump Is a Legend

Is the Left Playing with Fire Again?
To those who lived through that era that tore us apart in the ’60s and ’70s, it is starting to look like “deja vu all over again.” And as Adlai Stevenson, Bobby Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey did then, Democrats today like Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi are pandering to the hell-raisers, hoping to ride their...
A Revolution to Save the World
“Beyond Left and Right” was the tide of the Antiwar.com conference which brought together Pat Buchanan and Alexander Cockburn, Justin Raimondo and Lenora Fulani (to say nothing of two Chronicles editors) in the same room (if not all at the same time) for a broad critique of the aggressive New World Order launched by the...
The Star Chamber
In 1975, the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL) launched a campaign for reparations for those Japanese who had been forced to evacuate the West Coast during World War II.Ā A heavily financed lobbying effort came to fruition five years later when the House of Representatives passed a bill creating the Commission on Wartime Relocation and...
Remembering M. E. Bradford
Anyone who met M. E. Bradford was unlikely to forget him. There was his imposing bulk and his Stetson cowboy hat, but that was just the trimming. This Oklahoman, long a fixture at the University of Dallas, radiated vast erudition, lightly worn and easily shared, often in colloquial language. He emitted goodwill and sparkling humor,...
After Bolton, Trump Goals Remain Unrealized
The sudden and bitter departure of John Bolton from the White House was baked in the cake from the day he arrived there. For Bolton’s worldview, formed and fixed in a Cold War that ended in 1991, was irreconcilable with the policies Donald Trump promised in his 2016 campaign. Indeed, Trump was elected because he...
Paths of the Ancestors
On a bright winter morning in 1907, a rancher went searching for a lost calf deep in a labyrinthine canyon on the Colorado Plateau. Descending into a draw so steep that his horse could not follow, he stumbled upon an astonishing find: Betatakin Ruin, a large cliff house complex that seems almost to hang in...
Israel Rules
On Christmas Eve, when Christians were celebrating the Prince of Peace, THE New York Times delivered forth a call for war. āThereās only one way to stop Iran,ā declared Alan J. Kuperman, and that is āmilitary air strikes against Iranās nuclear facilities.ā Kuperman is described as the ādirector of the Nuclear Proliferation Prevention Program at...
On ‘Millions of Fathers’
The comments in your December issue about the anomaly of the laws, as now constituted, that affirm both the woman’s sole right to decide on abortion and the father’s duty to financially support the child once born were very well taken. The fact is that abortion is always justified on the basis of the tacit...
The She-Devil
Florence King, a/k/a “Fascist Flossie,” “Ku Klux King,” and “the thinking man’s redneck,” is the author of Southern Ladies and Gentlemen, Reflections in a Jaundiced Eye, Confessions of a Failed Southern Lady, and a number of other books under her own name and several others. She is infamous, in a South full of unreconstructed Confederate...
Leningrading Verdi
Foreigners often think of life in Italy as operatic, which shows that reinvestment in the obvious is not always a losing propostion. If only more foreigners had followed Nietzsche in asking “If it is true that evil men have no songs, how is it that the Russians have songs?” then perhaps the world would not...
Martyrs Inc.
“When I must define my own views,” writes Milovan Djilas in his latest book, Of Prisons and Ideas, “I identify them as ‘democratic socialist.'” For those who find this oxymoronic, Djilas’ whole book may seem like an exercise in contortion. True to his earlier autobiographical works, Djilas clings to the purity and the intensity of...
Hawks Win
The Pentagonās National Defense Strategy, which Defense Secretary James Mattis presented on January 19, envisages aggressive measures to counter Russia and China and instructs the military to refocus on Cold War-style competition with them, away from terrorist threats and ārogue nations.āĀ This is in stark contrast to Barack Obamaās 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review, which called...
Silicon Valley God Complex
Elite freaks have a tendency to try to set themselves up as the Almighty.
Advice to a Postulant-Professor
If I could tell every first-year graduate student in America one thing, it is this: The campus is not a calling, it is just another career. If university teaching serves your purposes, come and join us. If not, follow your star in a different firmament. In graduate school, learn in order to sell your knowledge...
Remembering Eric Voegelin: Anti-Gnostic Warrior
That political ideology and activism have become a new religion is something the average individual sees signs of nearly every day. A black man is killed in an altercation with police and his face instantly becomes an icon to be carried in protests, his name a phrase to be repeated with adoration. A slogan such...
Alito 5 Must Stay the Course
In February, five Supreme Court Justices voted in camera to overturn Roe v. Wade and send the issue of abortion back to the states, where it resided until 1973. Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett had all signed on to the majority opinion overturning Roe that had been drafted by...
Is Trump Going Neocon in Syria?
Is President Donald Trump about to intervene militarily in the Syrian civil war? For that is what he and his advisers seem to be signaling. Last week, Trump said of Syrian President Bashar Assad’s campaign to recapture the last stronghold of the rebellion, Idlib province: “If it’s a slaughter, the world is going to get...
Shifting Sands
The grand theme of P.D. James’s work is man and his overwhelming sense of rootlessness, anxiety, and guilt in the knowledge of a crime unknown and a punishment outwardly denied in the post-Christian era, though inwardly anticipated. Especially in the last decade or so, James has moved far beyond Dame Agatha Christie, delving deeply into...
European Union
Sometimes short books on great musicians markedly surpass longer ones.Ā Aspects of Wagner, by British philosopher and ex-parliamentarian Bryan Magee, provides a much better guide in its 112 pages to the Master of Bayreuth than do most other Wagner-related books of seven times the size.Ā Similarly, Edmund Morrisās 2005 Beethoven: The Universal Composer (256 pages,...

Homogeneity Was Our Strength
āDiversity enriches education,ā then-presidential-candidate Barack Obama commented in a Q&A session with The Chronicle of Higher Education.Ā Students should be āexposed to diversity in all its forms,ā and affirmative action is the vehicle to guarantee this goal.Ā Contrary to the expectations of naive commentators who hoped we had entered a new epoch, the election of...
Trashing the Trailer
Iām not certain that intellectual snobbery is not inconsistent with a Christian mind, but Iāve never been much bothered by the undercurrent of it that hums along noticeably in a lot of the articles in Chronicles.Ā Forty years ago, when I, then a small childish high-school student in Houston, would take a packed, gloriously smoke-filled...
Dance With the Devil in the Pale Moonlight
There was a notable convergence some decades ago, one that was noticed musically as two separate and distinct phenomena, but not as a convergenceāor even as a conspiracy, or a rivalry.Ā I never heard or saw any acknowledgment that two of the foremost instrumentalists in the world were fiddling around pretty much at the same...
The Last Aristotelian
This compact and thoughtful biography by the director of American Studies at Oglethorpe University underscores a recurrent problem affecting the reputations of conservative social thinkers.

An American Original
In the world of blue bloods and blue books, where nicknames like “Oatsie,” “Tootsie,” “Bunny,” and “Babe” abound, being called “Sister” isn’t particularly unusual. Even in her professional life.
