    Populists Are Right to Be Paranoid0

    We are living in a political culture in which anyone identified with the now-vaguely-defined “right” can lose his fortune, reputation, and possibly his freedom. Meanwhile, the racist, vandalizing left can do what it wants with total impunity. A professor lecturing at the Yale School of Medicine dreamt aloud about “shooting white people,” and has not suffered

    Charles Murray Wields Statistics to Question Race and Identity Politics0

    Charles Murray guaranteed he won’t be invited to speak on “woke” university campuses anytime in the near future with the release of his latest book, Facing Reality: Two Truths About Race in America. Which is too bad. The 78-year-old political scientist was already unpopular due to his controversial findings in The Bell Curve and Coming Apart. Murray’s latest book

    Scaramouche: Rogue of the French Revolution0

    A good historical novel—as Rafael Sabatini’s Scaramouche is—resembles a bridge game, where the hands and strategies are revealed only gradually. History itself unfolds irregularly, with disruptions, false starts, and surprises. Against the backdrop of complicated, vicious, and corrosive events in France in the late 1780s and early 1790s, Sabatini draws his characters from smallscale lives into the great
