Tom Stoppard: Still Fooling With Us After All These Years
(John Hinderaker) In the Daily Mail this morning, I came across this headline: Sir Tom Stoppard admits inventing a quote from a fake professor to go in the programme for one of his most famous plays. Stoppard is one of my favorite playwrights, so I followed the link, even though the idea of Stoppard inventing a quote by a fake professor is not exactly a shock. This was the story: Playwright Sir

Time for Sachs to Get Sacked
(Steven Hayward) If there's anybody who can rival Paul Krugman and Tom Friedman for knowitall smugness, it's Columbia University economist Jeffrey Sachs. We've taken note before of Sachs's high self-regard (here and here) and even praised him once for taking down Krugman. Last month he wrote in the Catholic magazine America that his fondest hope for Pope Francis's upcoming fall visit to the United States is that the Pope will try to

The case of Rachel Dolezal: strange but not surprising
(Paul Mirengoff) Our flourishing national conversation about race gains additional fuel. Rachel Dolezal, the "black" president of an NAACP chapter is revealed to be white. President Obama should weigh in. He is, after all, our explainer-in-chief when it comes to race. I'd also like to hear from Eric Holder. Or is he part of the "nation of cowards" when it comes to discussing race? The story of a white "passing" as a

Knowing Me, Knowing You
Harold Bloom is God—at least according to Tablet Magazine and perhaps a few other contemporary publications. The New York Times has called him "a colossus." According to a contributor at the Huffington Post, he is one of the "giants," not of criticism, but of the Western canon itself. As a disciple of Emerson, who believed that all men were divine, Bloom probably wouldn't quibble with Tablet's bit of hyperbole. But we're on surer ground if we simply note that he is our most prolific and popular critic. He has written 45 books in his long career (not counting the 96-volume set of modern criticism he edited for Chelsea House) and has landed on The New York Times bestseller list three times—no mean feat for an elderly academic in our age of Kardashian.

It was the first warm day in months, and somebody had just found out the headliner of […]
