Unmaking at 50
(Scott Johnson) Even as a mindless teen-age liberal I read Bill Buckley's syndicated column in the St. Paul Pioneer Press. I even learned something from it. I looked up the words I didn't understand in the dictionary. Reading Buckley was my preparation for the Verbal portion of the SAT exam. Reading Buckley and looking up the exotic vocabulary he employed might have constituted overpreparation, even back in those somewhat more rigorous days.

Road Notes

An exhibit now at the Whitney Museum describes the classically trained African-American painter Archibald J. Motley as a "jazz-age modernist." It's an apt description for this painter of chromatically charged, practically rhythmic scenes of black nightlife. Motley was drawn to the carnival atmosphere of Chicago's "Black Belt," a district whose sidewalks were filled street preachers, pimps, couples out for a stroll, and lone men on the make.
The post Archibald Motley's Music appeared first on Washington Free Beacon.

What really divides conservatives
(Paul Mirengoff) What best explains the division we see among conservatives these days? Is it ideology, strategy, or just tactics? All three factor in.
