Sam Holman by James T. Farrell Prometheus Books; Buffalo, NY. Achieving self-definition through self-division is a truly impossible mission, but the cordless ego of contemporary liberalism continues to try to repopulate the world with its own image. That the result would be a universe of images reflecting a totalitarian state does not disturb the liberal...

Estrogen Poisoning
A first-grade teacher in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., concludes that while some of her pupils suffer various degrees of parental neglect, others seem to be experiencing the opposite extreme: such pampering at home that they cannot even tie their own shoes, and must have it done for them. It takes a while before she...
Letter from a Legend
Chroniclesā editors should be commended for publishing several hard-hitting articles on the leftās pernicious censorship and particularly for providing an interview with a young friend of mine, Michael Millerman, who has been victimized by academic bigots (āInterview with a Condemned Academic,ā Chronicles, August 2019). Like Michael, I have written on Leo Strauss and Martin Heidegger...
What Really Happened
āYou can observe a lot just by watching.ā āYogi Berra I call 2016 the Chronicles Election.Ā The issues discussed in this magazine, often a lonely voice in the wilderness, for more than 30 years finally caught up with the national political discourse and got a president elected.Ā They are bum trade deals, an eroding industrial...
Manlio on the Value of Introductions
āApart from an eleventh-century Norman castle, my birthplace, latterly a town of some ten thousand inhabitants, is famous for having once had as many as a hundred churches in its precincts and for the way our people have with mutton. I had somehow lost track of the place, which I had left when still very...
War Drums Along the Potomac
By releasing the grisly videos of the beheadings of American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff, ISIS has altered the political landscape here and across the Middle East. America is on fire. “This is beyond anything that we’ve seen,” said Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, “ISIL is as sophisticated and well-funded as any group that...
A Son of Saint Dominic
The appellation āmonstre sacrĆ©ā for Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange, O.P. (1877-1964), was coined by FranƧois Mauriac, an influential Catholic litterateur and contemporary of Garrigou, suggesting the ill feelings harbored by those who found their theological or philosophical positions contradicted by Garrigou.Ā In this book, Fr. Richard Peddicord, O.P., associate professor of systematic theology at the Aquinas Institute,...
In Praise of the Clan
A new Dark Age is already upon us, and perhaps we might learn a few lessons from the last one.Ā It was a time when the arts of civilization were dimly recalled in fairy tales, when Krum the Bulgar khan gilded a Roman emperorās skull and used it as a drinking goblet, when the careful...
In the National News
Rockford doesn’t often make the national news, but when it does, you can be certain it’s not because of any good that’s happening here. Our latest brush with fame came on the last day of September, when a 32-year-old Catholic priest from a parish just south of Rockford rammed his car into the local abortuary....
Let’s Cheat on Our Taxes
As I write, April 15 is still fresh in the mind, and the sting of death remains, combining the current pangs of tax extraction with the promise of a greater burden to come, thanks to the BarackĀiĀfiĀcation of heathcare. So imagine my delight when I read in a back issue of a leading Christian magazine...
Is the American Century Over For Good?
“Politics stops at the water’s edge” was a tradition that, not so long ago, was observed by both parties, particularly when a president was abroad, speaking for the nation. The tradition was enunciated by Sen. Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan in 1947, as many of the Republicans in the 80th Congress moved to back Truman’s leadership...
J. Strom Thurmond, R.I.P.
J. Strom Thurmond died on June 27, answering that last great Roll Call in the Sky at the age of 100, shortly after finishing out a half-century in the U.S. Senate.Ā He won his first election before Bill Clinton and Junior Bush were born.Ā He spent the last period of his life in his native...
Problems in Democracy 01
The House Ethics Committee has changed reportingĀ requirements for members who receive free travel from a variety of groups. The travel will still be reported but only on the House Clerk’s website, making it less likely for watchdog groupsāaka paid snoopsāand journalistsāaka professional liarsāto keep track of their indubitably corrupt activities. To answer Nancy Pelosi’s...
Memorandum to President George W. Bush
In the aftermath of September 11, you have done a reasonably good job managing the crisis, symbolizing the nation’s unity, restraining the laptop bombardiers, and preparing a military response that was neither hasty nor disproportionate. Now that two months have passed, you have more time to reflect on the long-term significance of that event and...
The Pipe Dream Presidential Candidacy of Gavin Newsom or Michelle Obama
Kamala Harris wants to be president, ran for the job in 2020 and probably expected Biden, at some point after defeating former President Donald Trump, to hand her the baton before November 2024.
The Supreme Court and the Due Process Clause
In addition to endorsing the overturning of Roe, Justice Thomas's concurring opinion on Dobbs threatens other due-process legal precedents, such as those that have guaranteed a fundamental right to homosexual behavior and gay marriage.
Madness in Great Ones
The American poet and man of letters John Berryman created in his half-memoir, half-short story “The Imaginary Jew” what is very likely the most powerfully compressed vision of vulgar, visceral racism in our literature. In this present, honorably intended biography of Ezra Pound by an apparently Jewish and leftist professor at Queens College (whose previous...
Letās Hear it for Free Speech
The media chitchat these days is of the media itself, and of, Lordy, how'd things ever get this way! You know what way I meanāthe way it is now, with right-wing extremists (centered on Fox News and the Breitbart blogs) injecting lies and fables into the national bloodstream and the ...
Writing Without Letters
Whatever happened to the old middle-to-highbrow American culture? Once upon a time, there was a fair-sized literate class that kept up on fiction and verse by reading the great organs of literary opinion. These days there is a great gulf between serious literature and general-interest journalism. “Literary” magazinesāKenyon Review, Daedelus, or Sewanee Review, for instanceānow...
On Saving Canada
Kevin Michael Grace begins his profile of Conrad Black (āThe Fall of Lord Blackadder and Lady Manolo (of Blahnik),ā News, June) with a piece of hearsayāan observation that āCanada isnāt worth saving,ā supposedly uttered by David Frum to me and by me to Mr. Grace. David has never said such a thing to me, and...
How the West Was Restored

Trump: The Globalist Nightmare That Fizzled
During the 2016 presidential campaign, candidate Donald Trump spoke and acted like every coastal globalistās nightmare. Criticizing the European UnionĀ as Americaās devious competitor, Trump calledĀ both the World Trade Organization and NAFTA ādisasters.āĀ NATO was obsolete, he said,Ā Crimea was none of our business, and better relations were neededĀ between Washington and Moscow.Ā Advising Obama to stay out of Syria,...
Writing in the Tolstoy Tradition
“I always wanted to be a writer I can remember the first book I ever wrote when I was very little. I wrote the title and the index, but I didn’t actually get āround to the contents.” Nikolai Tolstoy laughs and leans back, trying to fit his extremely long legs under my dining room table....
Istanbul 2013 = Moscow 1937?
Ā After a show trial that lasted for five years and would’ve made Josef Stalin and Andrei Vyshinsky proud, 354 opponents of Tayyip Recep Erdogan’s Islamist regime have been found guilty. Ā The main defendant, Gen. Ilker Basbug, who led Turkey’s armed forces in 2008-2010 was given a life sentence. Ā The head of the socialist-secular nationalist...
What the Editors Are Reading
About 20 years ago the late George Garrett, a professor of English and writing at the University of Virginia and a contributing editor to this magazine, told me an anecdote meant to illustrate the intellectual and social naivetĆ© of students at one of the most prestigious schools in the country.Ā After George requested his sophomore...
“I Keek It, I Vin It”
Two decades ago, the general managers of professional football teams discovered that the highly specialized jobs of placekicking could be done by sometime soccer players, most of them born and raised abroad. The placekicker, we remember, is often called upon to deliver a field goal whose three points, especially in the game’s concluding moments, can...
The Gamblersā Club
On July 15 Goldman Sachs reported that its second-quarter profits were the highest in 140 years.Ā It netted $3.4 billion on $13.4 billion in revenue (78 percent of which came from trading and principal investments and 11 percent from investment banking).Ā Exactly which trades brought in such large profits is said to be proprietary.Ā It...
What Culture?
My late friend Sam Francis often wrote about the need for Americans to defend their āculture.āĀ Most assuredly Americans have lives, families, land, and property that they need to and have every right to defend and preserve (which they are not doing a very good job of).Ā Ā But ācultureā?Ā I always wondered exactly what Sam...
Making Custer Great Again
If kids arenāt reading books, maybe itās because they donāt have exciting books to read. According to the American Psychological Association, a third of all teens have not a read a book for pleasure in a year. The report cites the usual culprits, especially the prevalence of spending time on social media, which is even...
Biden Bets the Farmāto ‘Change the World’
Joe Biden may not be a radical socialist, but he is doing the best imitation of one this writer has lately seen. After enacting a COVID-19 relief package of $1.9 trillion in March without a single Republican vote in Congress, Biden proposed a jobs and infrastructure program of $2.2 trillion. He has now added an...
The Man Who Made Cultural Marxism
Herbert Marcuse saw the transformation of the culture as the sine qua non of revolutionary change. He understood that the working classes of Europe and America wanted better wages, not the radical destruction of the western way of life.
Playing Games With āIslamā
Dancing around an unpleasant reality is what politics is all about nowadaysāDonald Trump excludedāwith political correctness the enveloping cloud that hides truth and the facts.Ā There are boundaries that are set by those faceless gray men and women none of us ever see, those who control the networks, the newspapers, and the academyāin other words,...
The Coming Bin Laden Conspiracy Theory
Ā The killing of OBL is a significant event politically and psychologically. It will not have any detrimental impact on the operations of Al-Qaāeda, however, because that amorphous group does not need a leader and has not had a centralized command-and-control structure for a decade. We should not expect a single retaliatory terrorist assault by...
Grading Greenspan
President Bushās recent announcement that he will renominate Alan Greenspan for a fifth term as chairman of the Federal Reserve Board elicited mostly favorable reactions from a wide range of economic and political pundits. At the critical end of the spectrum, economist James Galbraith, in an op-ed entitled āGreenspan, The man who stayed too long,ā...
Cataloguing Whatās Been Lost
Chilton Williamsonās study of the sources of American conservative thought presupposes certain assumptions about his subject that may not be universally shared but are defensible nonetheless.Ā Williamson suggests that American conservatism is essentially paleoconservative, and both his choice of current conservative authors and his comments on Joe Scotchieās Revolt From the Heartland underline this association.Ā ...

Fighting Words: Abortion and Civility
Austrian sociologist Hans Millendorfer claims to have discovered, at least in his native Austria, a perplexing correspondence: his statistics show a rise in abortions paralleled by a rise in civility. To those of us who consider abortion a violent and evil act, it seems strange that such violence should be accompanied by an increase in...
None Dare Call it Treason
None dare call it treason when a former US President intrigues with the head of an unfriendly foreign government. But when Jimmy Carter met with Sandinista leader Daniel Ortega on February 2, Vice President Quayle had the courage to say: “Obviously, when you have a former President meeting with heads of state we don’t meet...
War Cries Drown Out ‘America First’
“Why would I call China a currency manipulator when they are working with us on the North Korean problem?” tweeted President Donald Trump on Easter Sunday. Earlier, after discovering “great chemistry” with Chinese President Xi Jinping over “the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake” at Mar-a-Lago, Trump had confided, “I explained . . . that...
On the ‘National Endowment for the Arts’
The crux of Jacob Neusner’s (Cultural Revolutions, September 1990) frustration lies in the fact that he is desperately trying to find a “middle position” solution to the NEA funding crisis. There is no middle position to take with NEA, simply because the very nature of its being violates free market principles. Art is a business...
Establishing Christian America
We Americans like to think of our country as the most religious, the most Christian nation on the face of the earth.Ā In an irritating article I wrote for the Spectator (āAmerica: Not A Christian Country,ā August 27, 2005), I demonstrated the hollowness of this claim.Ā Whatever Americans may say they believe, they do not...
The Warren Rule, Part Two: The Pushback to Ending Racial Preferences
Last week I wrote about the first stage in my proposed plan to end racial preferences in the U.S. university system by using the ready availability of genetic testing services, such as 23andMe and others, to broaden the definitions of multicultural identity to the point where these distinctions become meaningless. Iāve named it āThe Warren...
Democrats’ DiversityāOnly in the Back of the Bus
The “Our diversity is our strength!” Party is starting to look rather monochromatic in its upper echelons these days. The four leading candidates for its presidential nominationāJoe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and Pete Buttigiegāare all white. The six candidates who have qualified for the Dec. 19 debateāthe front four, plus Amy Klobuchar and Tom...
Democrats Demand Justice Alito Control His Wife

The Edinburgh Brute
“The whole Sherlock Holmes saga is a triumphant illustration of art’s supremacy over life.” āChristopher Morley It was the spring of 1893, and Arthur Conan Doyle was plotting murder. “I am in the middle of the last Holmes story,” Doyle wrote to his mother, “after which the gentleman vanishes, never to return. I am weary...
Ron Paulās Hour of Power
The decades-long campaign of Ron Paul to have the Government Accountability Office do a full audit of the Federal Reserve now has 313 sponsors in the House. Sometimes perseverance does pay off. If not derailed by the establishment, the audit may happen. Yet, many columnists and commentators are aghast. An auditors' probe, they ...
The First Victim of Any War
Truth, the saying goes, is the first victim of any war, but as NATO’s “action” in the Balkans has demonstrated, truth is under even greater attack in the “information age.” Today, history is not written by the victors once the smoke has cleared, but constantly evolves; each day’s truth is revealed by CNN, the ubiquitous...
COVIDGATE (Part 3): Attack on Informed Consent
Patient rights and bioethics are impossible without truly informed consent. This fundamental concept has vanished from public view faster than paper towels and toilet paper from your grocery shelves. Informed consent matters more than ever because we are entering the most coercive era of medical tyranny in human history.Ā Ā Ā Ā If the public...
