I highly recommend Professor George's latest book, The Clash of the Orthodoxies. I have a copy, and though I haven't finished it, what I read was top-notch. It is printed by
ISI Books, which is based in hometown of Wilmington, Delaware.

Thanks for the link to Crisis, a great publication. Do you like the New Oxford Review as well?

It's interesting that you mention the two in the same post, since they've have been going at it since the release of Goodbye Good Men.

I haven't had the chance to read NOR as much, but it looks pretty good. You might like First Things as well.
To: Pyro7480
I kind of ignore the inside-baseball stuff on the letters pages of NOR and just read the articles and reviews which are usually first rate. I'm dimly aware that they have a polemic going with Crisis over the Rose book and the pedophile clergy debate, but I'm not clear on the details.

He has been honored by both the liberal American Bar Association and the conservative Federalist Society, which is extremely unusual and shows how respected he is on both sides of the political spectrum, says Bill Saunders,... Wow!

Students are drawn to him, not just sensing controversy in the air but compelled by a teaching style based on principles that force thoughtful conclusions, and not merely relativistic admirations for different theories. Georges no-nonsense style and love of fiery debates made his lectures the only ones at Princeton that kept me awake each week from start to finish, Hess adds This is a person who understands what behavior is rewarded at institutions of higher learning. I wonder what her parents are paying for the rest of her curriculum/insomnia cure?

After all, it was quite risky for the politics department to give tenure to a strong, attractive young conservative in a department of only 50 people. Why, as the saying goes, he could just unbalance the whole place! This comment just serves to illustrate why Liberals simply hate conservative professors on campus. Liberal ideas cannot hold up in critical academic examination, so they have to eliminate the possibility of that by eliminating their opposition.

Good read. Thanks for posting this.

I've had some of my best programming ever totally obliterated by a jake who was a decent programmer (a high mark to be decent if I give it) yet not up to the levels. Rather than allow it to seed the ground he ground it up, eradicated every bit of it. And replaced it with his own wanker code.
As hard as that was I had to let him do it. And then when he was booted -- his flaws undeiably manifest to the Proprieter of the works, I did return.
And made shyte sing. For the Proprieter and his crews had come to love the smell of shyte. Still, it had to syng, and so I made that mess a full three act opera, and in outwardness it sang like a Diva.
So it was with Mozart too, and many a gifted person -- that the dreck and mire must be helped to sing beautifully, and without that the forces of destruction have their play.

Great read on a rare soul. Thanks for posting this. It gives me some encouragement that the President's bio-ethics committee might actually do the right things regarding cloning and ESCR. I'm sure the Professor sees the cannibalism in a similar light as we Freepers see it.
