The foremost cafe intellectual

Paris is a city of great pleasures, but one of the best is sitting on the exterior terrace of a cafe, drinking something delicious, and puffing away on a cigar. It’s a pretty complete experience — two kinds of intoxicants entering the bloodstream, the bustle and hum of the city as it passes by, the […]

The abandoned eight

I’ve told you about U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Nick Mitchel, who earned his combat action ribbon on his first day in the war in Afghanistan.

The ‘big, beautiful bill’ is a huge Republican achievement

Many political analysts did not believe Republicans could pass a single, sprawling bill encompassing much of President Donald Trump’s second-term agenda using the budget reconciliation process.

Family Friends: Review of Hal Ebbott’s ‘Among Friends’

“All happy families are alike,” Tolstoy wrote, “but each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” Over the years, the famous opening line to Anna Karenina has gone from being a bold generalization to a dictum.

In search of the Indo-Europeans

This all started 5,000 years ago. That’s when, give or take a millennium or two, the journey began, which ended with me writing and you reading these words in English.
