Will the election matter? Or will the political class simply carry on? Mike Ledeen is optimistic. I hope he's right. (Faster, please.) But Ruy Teixeira says the demographics still favour the Left, statist hegemony, and the political class. (As, of course, does Teixeira. Teixeira's Yale classmates report that he was a Weatherman as a Yale undergraduate. Now he is a mainstream left-wing Democrat. Let's not go into how much of a change this entails, or doesn't.) The European… [read post]

Victor Davis Hanson may be the best chronicler and commentator we have: he produces clear-eyed, clear-minded commentary, every few days. He is a classicist and military historian as well as a working farmer, enormously literate and thoughtful: a good mind and a good heart. Here, almost at random from a recent post, his reflections on why double standards undermine economic recovery: [B]usiness operates best under the assumption that the law is applied equally and that there are no insider cronies… [read post]

Stalin once gave an interview, in 1930 or thereabouts, to the then-famous literary midbrow Emil Ludwig. Stalin said sardonically to Ludwig, "You will soon see things in Germany that you would never have believed possible". Somehow that interview has been in my mind lately. [read post]

He was my teacher, as he was to so many of us: politically, and even more so personally. At a distance, again as is true for most of us: I only met WFB a few times, and then briefly. He has an enormous number of friends and spiritual godchildren that he never - or barely - knew. If you'd like to see and hear him again, the Hoover Institution has created a website for Firing Line. You can watch several full broadcasts and lengthy excerpts here - scroll down and use… [read post]

I've been in India over the holidays. It's another universe in many ways - fascinating, disturbing, hopeful, and too much for anyone, especially a short-term visitor, really to grasp. I had been in Bombay ten years ago. Now I was in Delhi, Agra, and Rajastan. A more prosperous India this time: partly because India is more prosperous, partly because Delhi (and Rajastan) were probably always somewhat more bourgeois than Bombay. But freer markets are… [read post]

Complete video of the Adolf Eichmann trial is now posted online. Yad Va-shem, the archive and institute in Jerusalem, posted the youtube video -- in more than one hundred 1-hour-plus segments -- just a few months ago, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the trial, which began in 1961. The full trial transcript was posted long ago, and it makes fascinating, chilling reading. But the video is even more gripping. Have a look, if only to get… [read post]

When I was a kid in the mid-1960s, I laughed immoderately when Ramparts magazine - the slick voice of the New Left - had a jeering piece about Madame Nhu and her family, deposed by a coup in South Vietnam, entitled "No Nhus is Good News". (Madame Nhu's brother-in-law, President Diem, was murdered in the coup. The coup was covertly backed by the United States.) It turns out that Madame Nhu lived on until this week. Here is Tim Worstall with an excerpt from the Guardian obit for la Nhu.… [read post]

Suppose you wanted to show your chemistry pupils how many molecules there are in a few teaspoonfuls of water? You might bring sand to class, one grain of sand for each molecule. How much sand would you need? A science master at Westminster School takes us through the calculations. Hint: If you have a jar of decorative sand at home, it's probably not enough. [read post]

If by some chance you haven't watched Foyle's War, the English TV series - well, do. Everyone says it's a great series. This is one of those cases where everyone is right. (It's a detective series, of course, set on the south coast of England during the war.) Every episode is taut, very smart, very complicated, very satisfying. In some of the early episodes, there were bits of heavy-handed leftist preaching, of the usual entertainment-industry-turned-propagandist kind. (Rich… [read post]

The earthquake in Haiti this week is almost unimaginably disastrous. Facts and pictures are only slowly coming out: the quake cut off communications at first, and communications are very bad in Haiti even in ordinary times. The religious journal First Things has posted links to some of the best and most extensive coverage, with links to trustworthy charities and aid agencies where you can contribute to help. (First Things especially recommends Food For The Poor, a Christian charity where… [read post]

The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga is a startling, funny, pitiless (short) novel about modern India. It spares no one and nothing, certainly not the corrupt "Great Socialist" politicians. Pervasive corruption is the theme of the book, in fact. Read it. You won't regret it. And here is Claire Berlinski on politics and life in Turkey. Again, the theme is pervasive and paralysing corruption. The piece explains just how… [read post]

I think when the right was disappointed in Bush - which we often were - it was for substantive (and substantial) reasons. But Jeffrey Scott Shapiro is on to something here: The treatment President Bush has received from this country is nothing less than a disgrace. The attacks launched against him have been cruel and slanderous, proving to the world what little character and resolve we have... Our failure to stand by the one person who continued to stand by us… [read post]

It is 89 years today since the Armistice that ended the First World War in 1918 - the day the guns finally fell silent on the Western Front (and on all fronts) at precisely 11-11-11: 11.00 am, November 11. In Britain and Commonwealth countries every year there are remembrance ceremonies on the Sunday that falls nearest November 11 - Remembrance Sunday - but this year November 11 itself is Sunday, which will make these remembrance events somehow especially poignant. Even now, 89 years later, there… [read post]
