The long-awaited new edition of Srdja Trifkovicās work on the genocidal UstaÅ”aāCroatian Revolutionary Movement is a pivotal contribution to modern Balkan studies, an area regrettably mired in deception, half-truths, and outright lies served up with a noxious dosage of outright Serbophobia.Ā This work is a painstakingly detailed study of the bloodthirsty Croatian Nazis and their...

A Reminder of Hope
As our country plunges into yet another foolish war in the Moslem world and teeters on the edge of bankruptcy, it is easy to be focused on the negative. But today’s news also brought a small reminder of hope. The synod of the Ukrainian Catholic Church, meeting in Lvov, just elected 40-year old Sviatoslav Shevchuk,...

The Mind of the South
That a tale should live, While temples perish!Ā That a poetās song Should keep its echoes fresh for all the hills That could not keep their cities! . . . So wrote William Gilmore Simms in his poem āThe Lions of Mycenaeā (1870).Ā He was alluding to Aeschylus, Horace, and Homer, but was no doubt...
On the Lusitania
In āGeorge W. Bush: Wilsonian Liberalā (Views, October 2002), Mark Royden Winchell writes: āAs despicable as the attack [on the Lusitania] may have been, [she] was carrying British munitions.ā Robert Ballard, the undersea explorer who explored the Titanic and the Bismark, also extensively explored the Lusitania in August 1993 and wrote of his findings in...
Moon-Man Religion
American Christians love to deceive themselves.Ā They close their eyes and pretend that the governmentās war against their religion is a temporary aberration; they insistāagainst all the evidenceāthat Abraham Lincoln was a Christian; and, when some federal judge dictates a decree stripping the town square of its cross and crĆØche or tearing down the Ten...
Social Securityās Coming Crash
The welfare state was born in Otto von Bismarckās Germany, a ploy of the famed Iron Chancellor designed to counter the electoral appeal of the rival Social Democrats.Ā Thus, social security was created in 1889 and eventually spread, under several guises, to many nations. Here, the Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance program (Social Security)...

Electing Your Own Boss
Until the late 1950ās and early 60ās, the deal for government employees was that they were paid less than similar private-sector workers but got excellent benefits, especially strong pensions and almost absolute job security.Ā And although some government workers belonged to associations, they did not have collective-bargaining rights. The deal was a fairly good one.Ā ...
Hillary: Nominee or Indictee?
While perhaps too early for Democratic elites to panic and begin bailing out on Hillary Clinton’s campaign as a doomed vessel, they would be well advised not to miss any of the lifeboat drills. For Hillary’s campaign is taking on water at a rate that will sink her, if the leakage does not stop, and...

Novelizing Novelists
Thrice-rendered Enderby slenderly lives again.

Getting Real III: Bribability Without Liability
BPās oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico continues to be a lead story.

Berlioz: A Musical Apotheosis
Until the advent of the long-playing record, almost all of the music of Hector Berlioz was, for most Americans, a silent enigma, available only to those who could read a score and really hear it.

Shattering Lincoln’s Dream
I just got a copy of a thoughtful new book, Vindicating Lincoln: Defending the Politics of Our Greatest President, by Thomas L.

The Right Fork
The chronological niche which the generation of D.J. Taylorās title occupies, 1918-40, will be remembered by future historiansāif, indeed, there should be any such creatures among the oafish homunculi now incubating in the totalitarian crucibles of modern lifeāfor sheltering the end product of the Westās millennial evolution.Ā Good or bad, foolish or clever, talented or...
A Southern Tradition
A southern tradition ended on August 19, when Beth Anne Hogan, a 17-year-old ponytailed blonde from Junction City, Oregon, signed the Virginia Military Institute’s matriculation book.

The Trials of Trifkovic
Ā Chronicles‘ distinguished foreign affairs editor has a way of exciting controversy. Often the cause is his view of Islam. Ā Despite the fact that he has declared, over and over, that he opposes the aggressive policies and measures taken by the US against Iraq and Afghanistan, his historical critique has been sufficiently on-target to create...
Letter from Spain: Post-Election Imbroglio
This year my winter retreat in Gran Canaria coincides with an unprecedented political crisis in Spain which may herald some trouble for the Brussels-based superstate. More than a month has passed since the inconclusive general election on December 20. It has marked the end of the decades-long duopoly enjoyed by the center-right Peopleās Party (Partido...
The Magnetic Chain of Humanity
As Alan Wolfe noted in a broadside published in The New Republic in 2003, the study of American literature, especially in American Studies programs at our major universities, has, since the 1970ās, become little more than a vituperative exercise in anti-American polemics. Largely a confabulation of Latino, Native American, African-American, feminist, āqueer,ā and āwhitenessā theorists...
Unplug Your P.C.
OK, sport fans, get your wallets out and start giving.Ā Thatās the latest brainstorm from a New York Times columnist who makes an unconvincing case for reparations to black people.Ā For slavery, that is.Ā And that means you, whitey, or brownie, and I guess that goes for yellow ones also.Ā He wants these reparations to...
Our New Circus
“John Glenn returns to space!” the headlines screamed, and I found myself screaming back, “I don’t care!” I guess it’s a generational thing: I wouldn’t understand.

Johnny Bull Can’t Read
Education has long been a political hot potato in Britain. For decades it has been the central issue that links national politics to the politics of the localities, the politics of class, and the politics of party.

Will Christianity Perish in Its Birthplace?
“Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? (My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?)” Those are among Jesus’ last words on the Cross that first Good Friday. It was a cry of agony, but not despair. The dying Christ, to rise again in three days, was repeating the first words of the 22nd Psalm. And today,...
Trump, Putin, and America

Has History Passed Obama By?
Ā Barack Obama’s dream of being a transformational president who alters the course of his country died 48 hours ago.

A Perpetual Censor
When Supreme Court Justice Byron White announced his retirement from public life in March of this year, a shudder rippled down the spines of Washington conservatives.

Infelix Culpa?
āThe oldest sins the newest kind of ways . . . ā āWilliam Shakespeare, Henry IV, Part 2 Ā Kingsley Amis called him āGrim Grin,ā an apt name for a novelist who aggressively insisted that the path to God runs through the wilderness of lust, degradation, deceit, and betrayal.

Poets and the Art of Interior Design
“I too dislike it” āMarianne Moore The sculptress Malvina Hoffman found the poetry of her friend Marianne Moore hard to understand and would sometimes ask her to read a poem aloud. “Then I would say, ‘I really don’t know what that’s all about, because of my own ignorance, I’m sure, but just possibly you might...
Observing a Special Memorial Day
My father, Harry S. Cathey, was a World War II veteran. He left behind letters to my mother written from France and Germany in 1944 and 1945.

The Screech of the Privileged
Donald Trump’s inaugural address was a powerful, straightforward articulation of American nationalism: “At the center of this movement is a crucial conviction: that a nation exists to serve its citizens. . . .

Armenians in Peril, Again

The Ten Commandments of Community
We are sailing into a new world of public policyāa world as strange and new as Columbus discovered. It is a world where infinite government demands have run straight into finite resources.

The Elusive Conflict

America for Sale
The recent U.S. recession, if judged by its effect on total employment, was the shortest and mildest of the post-World War II period.

Thompson blew his brains out, whereas...
Vanishing American Footprint
With his order to effect the execution of Osama bin Laden by Navy SEALs, 40 miles from Islamabad, without asking permission of the government, Barack Obama made a bold and courageous decision.
