2. "8 Ways to Rationalize Sin from �The Bachelorette�."
Julie Roys, Julieroys.com (2018). Highly practical. Mrs. Roys knows that getting concrete is the way to get to meaning.

3. "They Had It Coming: The Parents Indicted in the College-Admissions Scandal Were Responding to a Changing America, with Rage at Being Robbed of What They Believed Was Rightfully Theirs."
Caitlin Flanagan, The Atlantic (2019). Good for artistically conveying the mindview of desperate rich East Coast parents. We saw that when we visited Belmont, Mass. for a year.

4. "From Gay to Gospel: The Fascinating Story of Becket Cook."
Becket Cook and Brett McCracken, The Gospel Coalition (2019). Wow. It isn't the story of this Hollywood guy so much as how he tells it.

5." Giving Up Darwin."
David Gelernter, Claremont Review of Books (2019). He ought to believe in Intelligent Design, since it solves all of Darwinism's problems. I hope I can talk to him about that. I think he was one of my freshmen Tories at Yale, like Frum.

6. "The Trouble with Harvard: The Ivy League Is Broken and Only Standardized Tests Can Fix It."
Steven Pinker, The New Republic (2014). Having Pinker next to Gelertner is a delicious coincidence. Brilliant minds often disagree. But Yale's Gelernter surely agrees with Harvard's Pinker on the problem with Ivy League students.

7. " It�s Not Paranoia If It�s True.''
Rod Dreher, The American Conservative (2019). Obviously Jeffrey Epstein was murdered. See "Questions Nobody Is Asking about Jeffrey Epstein.''

8. "Legacy of Climategate � 10 Years Later,"
Judith Curry, Climate Etc. blog (2019). A good review of the scandal and what's happened since.

9. "More Thoughts on the Beijing Kowtow and the Misguided Mumbai Jumbai Cringe: Here Are Some Further Thoughts on Our Ridiculous Cultural Cringes over Foreign Names, Largely Stimulated by a Contribution from Geoffrey Warner."
Peter Hitchens, Peter Hitchens's Blog, The Daily Mail (2018). Bombay, not Mumbai. Germany, not Deutscheland. Thomas Macaulay, not an ignorant man, wrote about Lewis XIV.

10. "What Went Wrong in Macro - Historical Details."
Paul Romer, paulromer.net (2015). Of interest principally to economists--- intellectual history from 1960 to 1990. Good writing in the plain style, the C.S. Lewis, Strunk-and-White, George Orwell tradition.

11. "The rise and fall of French cuisine A dish of t�te de veau, or calf�s head. Photograph: Benjamin Auger/Paris Match/Getty French food was the envy of the world � before it became trapped by its own history. Can a new school of traditionalists revive its glories?"
Wendell Steavenson, The Guardian (2019). A long and pleasant essay on the history of French food that is enjoyable to read.

12. "My Friend Prof. Eric Rasmusen,"
Tim Bayly, Warhorn (2019). Immodest? It really is an amazingly written article--- even better than my "Fire Professor Eric Rasmusen? Or Fire Provost Lauren Robel Instead?"
