Hitchens, Falacci, O'Dowd; there are a courageous few-among the left wing intelligentsia-who have evoked a clarity of vision that is rarely found among their brethren. For that, we should be grateful.

Thank you for the warm wishes, this season of Lent.

I'm not the most observant of Roman Catholics, but I appreciate them, all the same.

-good times, G.J.P.(Jr.)

Ash Wednesday is my favorite holy day, because we all come out of the woodwork. The chapel at the Institute was always the most packed for this day.
