There is nothing substantive linking Fascism to the "liberal" academics Goldberg goes after in his book. Indeed I would have trouble finding any link between these subjects, save for the fact that "fascism" is now a hated abstraction among leftists and neocons; and so Goldberg can ...
Evans's defense of McCarthy, an ambitious book recently savaged in the reconstructed NR, typifies the kind of exercise that the veterans of the wars of the 1950s are inclined to produce. Such writing is, among other things, a rite of self-justification, but the people who publish them were in some ...
The newest book by Robert J. Stove, who has written for this website, A Student's Guide to Music History, is a compact study of great composers prepared for ISI Press. For those who are looking for bulky surveys of Rob's subjects or else detailed biographies of individual composers, such as Ernest ...

A frequent respondent of mine, Adriana, wrote as a comment on my most recent blog that Democrats can afford to publicize their "platform." Republicans, by contrast, cannot do so because the masses no longer accept their real views. But this judgment is only partly true. Popular opinion on ...
They Can"t Even Wait! Although I consider myself second to none in loathing the Democratic Party, as an ingathering of bureaucratic parasites and self-described victim groups (yelping for set-asides and public funding), there is one Democratic characteristic that Republicans would do well to ...
Last week one got to watch and hear various face-saving gestures by Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, who was discovered to have taken politically incorrect positions on a signature issue.
