Cupidity
The Informant! Produced and distributed by Warner Brothers Directed by Steven Soderbergh Screenplay by Scott Z. Burns based on Kurt Eichenwaldās book Ā āRadix omnium malorum est cupiditas,ā Chaucerās pardoner warned his guilt-ridden audiences: The root of all evil is greed.Ā Steven Soderberghās The Informant! serves as a latter-day illustration of this admonition. In The...
Copperhead Road
I grew up in Alden, New York, a small town about 20 miles east of Buffalo. My parents still live there, and they (especially my mother) are very active in the town historical society and its museum. In that museum is a worn old wooden desk, unremarkable except for the sign that explains that it...
Death in the Afternoon
In the 16th century, Spain was the wonder of Europe, with her vast empire in Latin America and the Philippines and her wealthy possessions in the southern Netherlands and Italy.Ā She came close to defeating and ruling England and Holland and, for a time, annexed Portugal with her colonial empire in Africa, Asia, and Brazil.Ā ...
Indiaās COVID Debacle and its Strategic Implications
Update: Paragraph 12 has been added to provide more background information on the economic differences between India and China. In the last seven daysĀ India has seen more COVID casesĀ than any other country in the world. The official death toll is over 200,000, although the countryās flawed mortality statistics lead experts to believe that the true...
Save the Children
Suddenly, we may receive a sonāa six-year-old, our first childāand we may get him in weeks. My small worries grow immense. Some background on one of them: My husband and I have what has been called a “mixed marriage” (sort of a hot dish, like franks and beans). He is firmly Catholic; I, by upbringing,...
Gibson and His Enemies
For years, conservatives have wondered if there was any movie Hollywood would balk at showing.Ā Blasphemy, incessant profanity, graphic sex, obscene violenceānone of these has proved an obstacle to Hollywood, and numerous films containing some or all of these elements have enjoyed widespread critical acclaim. We have finally found out what sort of movie will...
Donald Trump Is Our Eraās āGray Championā
According to the āgeneration theoryā of history, an elder leader emerges during a once-in-a-lifetime crisis. At stake in the current crisis is whether America will continue as a constitutional republic.
Shadow of Ecstasy
It’s starting again. Almost 20 years ago, the federal government launched what became known as the “war on drugs,” a radical experiment to suppress illegal drugs through harsh penal solutions. Among other things, this meant long prison sentences for the sale or possession of tiny quantities of controlled substances, sentences that are astonishingly severe by...
Welcome Back, Potter
Several years ago, aided by the wonders of modern technology and the principle of fair use, a number of people independently produced remixes of Itās a Wonderful Life as a horror movie.Ā That this worked brilliantly is really no surprise, since the dystopian world of Pottersville in Frank Capraās masterpiece foreshadowed such later classics of...
On Federal Power
William J. Watkins’ comment on states being forced to adopt the .08 blood-alcohol standard for drunken driving (Cultural Revolutions, January) is a narrow objection to federal power. The feds are not threatening to jail the entire population of any state which does not adopt the standard; they are only threatening not to return some of...
Recovering the Medieval Family
[This review first appeared in the July 1988 issue of Chronicles.] Hatred of the past ill becomes a historian. Yet it is hard not to detect this disfiguring animusāpaired with an overweening love of contemporaneityāin the works of many modern historians of family life. In recent decades, men such as Philippe Aries, Edward Shorter, and...
Displaying Moral Outrage
Canadian officials have been badgering the United States for deporting Syrian Maher Arar from New Yorkās John F. Kennedy International Airport in October 2002.Ā The Canadian government, however, is not entitled to display such moral outrage.Ā Mr. Arar was removed from the United States for alleged terrorist connections. Ā Because he held both Canadian and...
Jerks: The Natural Man
Ā “La plupart de jeunes gens croient etre naturels, lorsqu’ils ne sont que mal polis et grossiers.” La Rochefoucauld’s caustic observation on the false simplicity of young people who mistake crudeness for nature tells us that the cult of the primitive antedates both Rousseau and the Romantic writers who wrought so much mischief. Ā Society...
When Censorshipās the Game, Despotism Is the Goal
Weāre only a few months beyond the turn of the calendar and already I have a candidate for the word of the year: Censorship. Examples are proliferating at such a fast rate that it seems like a game of whac-a-mole just to keep up with all of them. A few of the most recent include:...
In God We Fail
The recent flood of secession petitions in the wake of the re-election of President Barack Obama has raised secession to something more than the curiosity or esoteric joke that it has been heretofore.Ā In the 1990ās an occasional newspaper article appeared about the League of the South or the Vermont independence movement, treating them as...
Papagueria: I
“The whole place would be abandoned if it weren’t an Indism reservation,” Bernard Fontana was saying, “like so much of rural America these days. There are a lot of people on the reservation who wake up in the morning knowing that what they’re going to do today isn’t worth sh-t. That may be true of...
Patching It Up With Putin
President Donald Trump flew off for his first meeting with Vladimir Putināwith instructions from our foreign policy elite that he get into the Russian president’s face over his hacking in the election of 2016. Hopefully, Trump will ignore these people. For their record of failure is among the reasons Americans elected him to office. What...

My Thermopylae
A tooth I had been neglecting lashed out at me last week like a woman scorned, and through clenched teeth I can report that only renal colic hath more fury. I remembered the time they gave me morphine in a London hospital, after an eveningās attempt at drinking two cases of champagne in the company...
Going First Class From Karakorum to Moscow
In August-September 1985, I traveled as a faculty lecturer with a group of Rice University alumni on a journey from Mongolia to Moscow by way of Siberia. The trip began in the village of Khujirt near Genghis-Khan’s capital of Karakorum. From there we went northwest to the God-forsaken Ulan-Ude and the capital of Eastern Siberia,...
Highest HonorāUntil Now
The Congressional Medal of Honor (CMH) is our nation’s highest award for valor under fire. The criteria are stiff: a deed of such exceptional bravery that failure to do it would draw no criticism; two eye-witnesses; and, above all, the risk of life. In our nation’s history, we have awarded only 3,427 such medals. Of...
Hugging Himself
James Boswell (1740-95), whose frank and revealing London Journal sold are than a million copies, is the most “modern” and widely read 18th-century author. His circle of friendsāJohnson, Burke, Gibbon, Reynolds, Hume, Goldsmith, Garrick, and Fanny Burneyāwas the most brilliant in the history of English literature. Cursed with a morbid Calvinistic streak, Boswell had uneasy...
Screen ā Shaking a Money-Maker
Footloose; Directed by Herbert Ross; Written by Dern Pitchford; Paramount. Break dancersāthose young people who go writhing, flipping, and spinning about like modern, urban, secular dervishesāprobably do not think about sex once they’ve completed their bouts. Rather, they undoubtedly wonder whethĀer there’s a chiropractor in the house. Television’s Dance Fever structurally emphasizes sex through the...
The Pelosi Uniform
The Woman in White was Wilkie Collinsās finest novel. That title is on his chosen headstone. I thought of Collins, as I viewed Nancy Pelosi, āclothed in white samite, mystic, wonderfulā at the State of the Union address. She led a cohort of Democrat ladies, cast somewhat implausibly as Vestal Virgins. You can push symbolism...
The Cop-Murdering Extremist Who Inspires Pro-Palestinian Campus Radicals
The celebration of Wesley Cook, aka āMumia Abu-Jamal,ā a cop-killing thug and member of a lawless cult of child abusers and anti-social criminals, by todayās campus radicals is telling.
Honorable Exit From Empire
As any military historian will testify, among the most difficult of maneuvers is the strategic retreat. Napoleonās retreat from Moscow, Leeās retreat to Appomattox and MacArthurās retreat from the Yalu come to mind. The British Empire abandoned India in 1947āand a Muslim-Hindu bloodbath ensued. Franceās departure from Indochina was ignominious, and her abandonment of hundreds...
Monologue as Echo Chamber
Tucked away in one of 2.3 Diary entries, Ned Rorem suggests that “inside every artist is a banker struggling to get out.” Though Rorem was merely penning another one of his inversions-for-inversion’s-sake, the particular aphorism he derived here seems curiously relevant to Spalding Gray. In his evolution (some would call it his “perfection”) of the...
Liking Ike
Stephen E. Ambrose: Eisenhower, Volume One: Soldier, General of the Army, President-Elect, 1890-1952; Simon & Schuster; New York. Great athletes, it is said, all are so good that they make their feats look easy. The same was true of Dwight David Eisenhower, first as a career soldier, then as Supreme Allied Commander, and finally as...
Yes, America Is Being Invaded
Though most of the migrants crossing the U.S. southern border are in search of economic opportunity, some are used as tools by our enemies. The invasion is deliberate.
Letās 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 ...
Tally and Record
The Immigration and Naturalization Service announced last June that to “regain control of the border” the INS will now begin to deport and possibly jail aliens and smugglers entering our country illegally. If you’re wondering whether this hasn’t been INS policy all along, think again. In the Southwest, repeat offenders have traditionally been released just...
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Strange as it may seem today, once upon a time, Hollywood respected Christianity.Ā Many movies had biblical themesāsome were box-office blockbustersābut, more importantly, many others had scenes depicting religion as an integral part of American culture.Ā The public demanded it.Ā The silver screen was full of families saying grace before a meal or attending religious...
Middle-Class Pretensions
When I was growing up in England 50 years ago, the newspapers still periodically caused a certain amount of mirth by āoutingā a national figure as not some impeccably Eton-reared patrician, as his public image seemed to imply, but a horny-handed son of the soil who had gone to the local state school and taken...
An Unhinged World
A few years after he was removed from office in 1890, Otto von Bismarck remarked that āEurope today is a powder keg, and the leaders are like men smoking in an arsenal.āĀ At present, the Iron Chancellorās dictum is applicable to the entire planet. The most important event by far this year has been Europeās...
Meloni’s Normality Is Too Much for the New Totalitarians
The āfascistā label is now used by the real totalitarians to attack anyone who does not toe the woke line to the T. New Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is the latest recipient of the leftās favorite misnomer.
The Virtues of Property
Somewhere deep in their bones, Americans recognize that property is the paramount civil rightāperhaps the paramount human right. Anyone who seriously studies American history, particularly that of the late 18th century, will discover that property, along with virtue, provided the foundation for American government. Indeed, the preservation of properly is arguably the chief reason we...
More and More Ugly Questions
Ā How much ādiversityā can the West absorb before it is no longer the West and thus ceases to be a haven for people escaping their own non-Western “cultures”āwhich they bring with them? When and why did the critical shift occur in American mentality that caused āscholarsā and journalists to stop reporting facts, events, and...
Tell Them What They Want to Hear
Unremarked by commentators on Canada’s federal election last November was the performance of candidates for the Communist Party of Canada. To qualify for national status, a party must field candidates in 50 ridings, which the CPC manages to do despite a singular lack of voter support. Out of some 13 million votes cast, the CPC...
Democrats and Jihadists: A Love Affair
The Beltway Right is a comical farce.Ā But like the blind squirrel that occasionally finds an acorn, it is right about one thing: Liberal Democrats simply cannot be trusted on national security.Ā That truth was no more apparent than in early April, when an A-list of Virginia Democrats were named āinvited guestsā on a flyer...
Emily and The Feminists
The centennial marking the death of the poet Emily Dickinson, on May 15, 1886, slipped quietly by a couple of years ago without noticeable effect on the national consciousness. The media in general, from the Sunday supplements to the guardians of culture on PBS television, were not, on the whole, visibly impressed. It was an...
Studies of Character
āTeach him he must deny himself,ā said Lee.Ā That was the generalās advice to a young mother who brought her infant to him after the War Between the States to receive his blessing.Ā In his classic four-volume biography R.E. Lee, Douglas Southall Freeman chose this as the incident that best exemplifies Robert E. Leeās message...
What the Editors Are Reading
Courtesy of our Westminster correspondent, Freddy Gray, who kindly sent me the book from London as an unexpected present, Iām nearly through Fathers and Sons: The Autobiography of a Family, by Alexander Waugh, the son of the late journalist Auberon Waugh, grandson of Evelyn, and himself a classical-music critic (ironic, as Evelyn Waugh loathed music...
Love’s Old Sweet Song
I once had the privilege of hearing Professor Polhemus deliver some of these pages as a lectureāthe passage on the terrible end of Miss Havisham in Great Expectations, which I have found as superb to read in 1990 as it was to hear in 1986. I also once heardāand watchedāhim do a number on The...
How Scooter Skated
Why did Bush do it? Why did he suddenly barge into the legal process and erase the entire 30-month sentence of Scooter Libby? For, from his own statement, Bush found the act deeply distasteful. In that statement, Bush calls Libbyās crimes āserious convictions of perjury and obstruction of justice.ā He praises Patrick Fitzgerald as āa...
And a Little Child Shall Mislead Them
Swedish activist Greta Thunberg has become a vastly influential force in the discussion of global climate change. Even so, policy makers are reluctant to challenge her because her global reputation verges on the hagiographic. Conservative Italians denounce her fanatical disciples as gretiniāa heavy-handed pun on the Italian word for cretins, cretini. Even so, the joke...
Slicing and Twisting
No matter how many curses should be heaped on the head of Thurgood Marshall, recently retired from some 24 years of slicing and twisting the raw meat of the Constitution into whatever ideological pastry suited his appetite of the moment, even his shrillest foes have to acknowledge Mr. Marshall’s eminence in the legal and judicial...
On Limiting Leviathan
For the most part, the flourishing of self-governing cities of the kind Prof. Donald W. Livingston describes in āAristotelian Worms in the Leviathanā (Views, January) took place in northern Italy, central and western Germany, and the Netherlands, where the absence of a strong central authority was decisive, but the rights of the cities in Germany...
When Hollywood Rode Right
Although Hollywood is now considered a monolithic bastion of leftist, āwokeā political and cultural sentiment with almost no dissent tolerated, it was not always that way. Though Tinseltown was never a haven for conservative and traditionalist cinema, actors, and screenwriters, 60 years ago a person could still be on the right and have a career...
California Crash
