- Robert Higgins’s War May 28, 2012It is a strange thing when somebody tells you how close you came to never existing. Not to dying, mind you, but to never having lived in the first place. That happened to me about three years ago when I interviewed Robert Louis Higgins Sr. for a historical sketch I was writing about General George S. Patton. Granddad was a living witness to Patton’s gr […]Sean Higgins
- WWII Hero Wins Presidential Medal of Freedom May 28, 2012In a White House ceremony Tuesday, President Obama will bestow the Medal of Freedom posthumously on the late Jan Karski, Ph.D. America’s highest civilian honor will go to this Polish-born World War II hero, whose daring deserves universal acclaim. Speaking April 23 at the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., Obama praised Jan Karski, calling […]Deroy Murdock
- Archbishop Lori and the First Principle May 28, 2012Confronted with a “train wreck,” the new archbishop of Baltimore implores us to “pray diligently as communities, as families, and as individuals.” Coming from clergy, this wouldn’t necessarily be breaking news, except the train hurtling toward us is driven by the current president of the United States and his secretary of Health […]Kathryn Jean Lopez
- Attacks on Bain Could Backfire May 28, 2012The ham-handed attack ads from Obama’s campaign on Mitt Romney’s former firm Bain Capital have drawn a lot of ire from other Democrats — and not only because they were sloppily fact-checked (the ads hit Romney for layoffs that happened long after he left Bain) and because a leading Obama money bundler is a Bain executive himself. Chiming in […]Michael Barone
- Christie Is Not One of Us May 26, 2012I feel something washing over me. I’m standing in New Jersey, so it’s probably red ink. No, wait a minute — it’s glowing ink! It could only be one thing: more conservative hagiography about the Garden State’s GOP governor. Chris Christie is so not one of us that articles like “Christie Is One of Us” — a new con […]Andrew C. McCarthy
- The Facebook Caliphate May 26, 2012So how’s that old Arab Spring going? You remember — the “Facebook Revolution.” As I write, they’re counting the votes in Egypt’s presidential election, so by the time you read this the pecking order may have changed somewhat. But currently in first place is the Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohamed Morsi, who in an inspirin […]Mark Steyn
- Will Fear Decide Texas Senate Race? May 25, 2012With the Texas state primary just days away, Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst is in the lead to replace Kay Bailey Hutchison in the U.S. Senate, and according to some observers, one of the factors he has working in his favor is fear. In Texas, the lieutenant governorship is a hugely powerful position. Its occupant is the leader of the state senate, meaning […]Katrina Trinko

- In a Class of His Own May 25, 2012"We're pretty well stuck for life in the class we're raised in," Paul Fussell wrote in his 1983 book Class: A Guide Through the American Status System. Surely Fussell would have applauded Charles Dickens' Martin Chuzzlewit character Montague Tigg, an amusing petty street chisler who morphs into Tigg Montague upon becoming an obnoxiou […]Daniel J.

- A Test of National Honor May 25, 2012Tests of a nation's honor have a way of coming out of left field. A Pakistani surgeon and senior medical administrator, Dr. Shakil Afridi, who apparently helped the CIA in finding Bin Laden, has been sentenced by a Pakistani tribal court to 33 years imprisonment for this crime, and fined 320,000 rupees. He had worked for many years as a doctor in Pakist […]Hal G.P. Colebatch
- Meet the Flukes! May 25, 2012There’s a uniquely American ritual that has so far escaped the attention of cultural anthropologists. A group of people huddle, near a water cooler perhaps. One of them lowers his head, looks nervously from side to side, and then begins to speak softly, so that no one else might hear. You’ve caught him in the act of perpetrating a joke. This isn’t exactly th […]F. H. Buckley
- Terrorism à la Carte May 25, 2012For any terrorist group, the ability to project destructive power is more important than the power itself. Having a large quantity of explosive, chemical or biological material that can be used only in a limited target geography may be useful for attacking that locale -- but to be able to use destructive devices on a broad international basis, however, estab […]George H.
