The Legacy of 1789
One man, one vote. It seems such an obvious, such a simple principle. What can possibly hinder its implementation in South Africa, where blacks are barred from the exercise of citizenship rights, or Israel, where West Bank Palestinian children take to the streets demanding self-government and civil rights, or New York City, where the Board...
Is the American Empire Worth the Price?
“When a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight,” Samuel Johnson observed, “it concentrates his mind wonderfully.” And the prospect of a future where Kim Jong Un can put a nuclear weapon on a U.S. city is going to cause this nation to reassess the risks and rewards of the American Imperium....
Two Oinks for Democracy
In the year 2000, many conservatives, with or without holding their noses, turned out to vote for George W. Bush.Ā One of the Republicansā strongest selling points during the campaign was Governor Bushās oft-repeated declaration that his administration would not engage in nation-building experiments.Ā After eight years of President Clintonās busybodying in the Balkans, where...
The Crusade to Nowhere
My last conversation with Edward Thompson, the Marxist historian, was at the gates of Durham Castle. That, on reflection, was how it should have been. There was always something slightly grand about him, as if a castle, or at least a country mansion, might be a natural place for him. Durham Castle is now a...
The Man in the Black Hat
From where the boyās wagon was parked, Laramie Peak, which from every other perspective appeared in some degree or another triangular, had a rounded aspect suggesting the crown of a tall, black hat.Ā The wagon stood braced on the summit of a low hill rising from a rolling plain dotted with pale stones and dark...
On Being a Pariah
In summer and autumn 2001, as Iain Duncan Smith, Michael Portillo, Kenneth Clarke, Michael Ancram, and David Davis slugged it out to see who would become the new leader of Britainās Conservative Party, colorful stories began circulating about Duncan Smith, who was widely regarded as the rightās great white hope. An ex-Army officer and the...

One year into his tenure as Australia's prime minister, center-left Labor PM Anthony Albanese has had a stabilizing influence on the country following the misrule of Liberal Party PM Scott Morrison.
The Rise and Fall of a Paleoconservative at the Washington Times (Part I)
After nearly a decade of working for the Washington Times, I was fired last September. Technically, I “resigned,” but Wes Pruden, the Times‘ editor-in-chief, asked me for a letter of resignation, and I had no real choice but to agree. Nor, by that time, had I any real desire to remain on the staff. The...
Polling and the Truth
TheĀ BerlinĀ TagesspiegelĀ recently went after a young Protestant theologian whom naĆÆve readers might have mistaken for a polite, unassuming scholar. This figure was outed by an academic colleague who discovered that he wrote for ānew Rightā publications, a term that in the German context should be understood quite broadly. One of the venues of this putative extremist...
Culture for the People
The photographs were commissioned by a music company for the cover of Andrea Bocelli’s next cult album. The last one had sold five million copies. We were visiting the popular tenor at his house in the resort of Forte dei Marmi, and decided to spend a few days at one of the town’s innumerable beach...
Democracy and the Art of Handloading
Swish . . . creakāchunk. Swish . . . creakāchunk. At the top of the press stroke the lubricated brass shell rises into the top of the press frame where it is engaged by the sizing die, screwed down and secured by the locking nut. On the downstroke it catches momentarily in the die before...
Islam in France
When the French historians of our epoch apply their magnifying glasses to the momentous developments of the first two months of this year, most of them, I think, are likely to conclude that the decisive factor leading to the historic National Assembly vote of February 10āwhen a massive majority of 494 deputies, compared with only...

Why Does Suicide Have a Bad Reputation?
Whether and when we enter this world is decided not by, but for us. Nor is it up to us to decide when to leave it. Most of us would like to stay longer than we are allowed ābut our lifespan is ordained by forces beyond our control. We are quite resigned to this; however,...

MIT Researchers Admit Anti-Maskers Are More Scientifically Rigorous
Upon recounting my bout with COVID to an acquaintance, I was asked if I knew where I might have picked up the virus. When I mentioned my hunch about the source, my acquaintance gasped, then inferred that I and those I caught it from must not have been wearing masks since the virus had spread....
Hard Living on Easy Street
With the falling leaves and falling temperatures, hordes of newspeople looking for the hungry and homeless descended on the missions and the shelters. Now collectively called Street People, Streetniks (my term) became the “darlings of the press”; every day, in every paper, we are brought up to date about them. USA Today for example, recently...
A Need for Stewardship
Sissinghurst, in the Kentish part of the Weald, is the estate that prose author and poet Vita Sackville-West bought in 1930 after it became clear she would not inherit the lease on Knole, her family property.Ā (It went instead to an uncle.)Ā Though Sackville-West is notorious for her liaisons with Virginia Woolf and Violet Trefusis...
Phonic Booms
In Forked Tongue, her important new public policy study-cum-expose whose proposals seem as likely to create new problems as to solve some old ones, Rosalie Pedalino Porter doesn’t get down to root causes. That is, she nowhere notes that when activist judges create new opportunities for turf-hungry bureaucrats the result is similar to what it...

Grimmest Moment in Modern American History
The World Trade Center attack may prove to be one of the grimmest moments in modern American history. Understandably, most Americans are enraged and demand revenge, while despair and fear are evident even in people who, only a very short time ago, managed to maintain a fairly detached view of the political scene. In this...
Suicide and States’ Rights
In early March, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals went exploring in the empty spaces beyond the text of the 14th Amendment and discovered a constitutionally protected right to suicide. Judge Stephen Reinhardt, writing for an 8-3 majority in Compassion in Dying v. Washington, went on to conclude that a Washington State law forbidding assisted...

Twenty Years and Counting

Africa: The Wind of Change
āA Manifesto for Renewing Liberalismā is the title of a recent issue (September 13, 2018) of the house journal of liberalism, The Economist.Ā I read this confessional admission with amazement.Ā Can the editors mean that liberalism needs to renew its vows?Ā It is not like liberalism to be crippled by self-doubt.Ā What went wrong?Ā Of...
Are We Still Entitled to Some Privacy?
More often than not, current events offer an opportunity for meditation.Ā This is the case today: The friends of a politician turned international financier, now to be tried for rape, have rallied round him, claiming his privacy has been invaded.Ā Though in this case the claim is downright preposterous, by appealing to the right to...
The Spirit of the Age
“Money is human happiness in the abstract; he who can no longer enjoy happiness in the concrete devotes himself entirely to money.” āSchopenhauer The Lewis Lapham story, as recounted in his earlier books, Fortune’s Child and Money and Class in America, is that of a rich boy who, having been exposed as a reporter to...
Pigs Is Pigs

The Unbearable Illegitimacy of American Law
For some time now, American law and lawyers have had a legitimacy problem.Ā Most Americans must wonder how it is that unelected federal judges have the power to declare that no state government can punish consensual homosexual relations, prohibit abortion, or permit prayer in the schools (to mention just a few of the striking things...
How Liberalism Is Losing
The refugee crisis in Europe and the response of the various European governments and of the European Commission, surrealistic as they seem, make sense only if one understands that the agony of contemporary Europe (like that of the United States) is the agony of liberalism, whose contradictions have suddenly caught up to it with the...
On the Electoral Process
“The Impotent American Voter” by Richard Winger and some related essays in the November 1994 issueāsuch as Jeffrey Tucker’s on the third-party optionāare seriously wrong. I would hate to see Chronicles get a reputation for political kookiness based on a poor understanding of American politics. Winger confuses political openness with openness to third parties. One...
Our Constitutional Covenant With Death
“The compact which exists between the North and the South,” proclaimed William Lloyd Garrison in an abolitionist declaration of 1843, “is a covenant with death and an agreement with hell.” When the Southern states concluded that they were no longer bound by what their enemies regarded as a compact with the devil. Garrison and his...
Islam’s Conquest of Europe
“Liberalism is the ideology of Western suicide,” wrote James Burnham in his 1964 Suicide of the West. Burnham predicted that the mindless magnanimity of liberals, who subordinate the interests of their own people and nations to utopian and altruistic impulses, would bring about an end to Western civilization. Was he wrong? Consider what is happening...

A Conversation Around Southern Poetry
Kelly Cherry and Henry Taylor met at the University of Virginia in 1960, where he was a first-year undergraduate and she was a graduate student in philosophy.

Still Riding the Rails
The only interruption in 32 hours of driving was a five-hour respite in a no-star motel somewhere in western Nebraska.

It steadily snaked its...

The Cataclysm That Was Roe

Kultur Ohne Gott
IĀ began this novel, set in Germany between the two world wars, after watching Valkyrie.Ā I found the film both shallow and grandiose, dominated by clicking heels and clashing chords; the choice of Tom Cruise to play Claus von Stauffenberg was singularly inept.Ā Cruise is a Hollywood celebrity; the personality of Stauffenbergāan aristocrat, soldier, and man...
How Neocons Turn āDemocracyā Into Grotesque Ideological Imperialism
Senator Lindsey Grahamās recent comments about wishing to see someone assassinate Putin, just as he wished Hitler had been taken out, reminded me of why I would never want neoconservatives like Graham running American foreign policy.
