Hitchens now has his own author page on David Horowitz' website <http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/authors.asp?ID=19>.] The Nation - November 7, 1987 MINORITY REPORT Christopher Hitchens There was something implicitly smug about the naming of the Second Thoughts Conference, just as there was something unmistakably sinister about its deliberations. The presumption of the title was that revisionism-in this case, post- ...

obvious wrote: > i'm curious what you toasted to doug. I said something like this: "I ambled into the party because of a strange case of late adolescent rebellion, but I got over it. My thinking is very different now. But since membership is for life at least, I thought I'd drop in to see how things were going. In the words of a 19th century political philosopher, expropriate the expropriators." I didn't drink the stuff though; I was afraid I'd get cooties. Doug

There were almost none in my day (because there were few women at Yale, and few conservatives of any sex). Several of the women in it now seem to be religious - the toaster to the Catholic Church was one, as was a sometime Chairman who prefaced her remarks by saying she's a lay minister in the Episcopalian church. Many of them were rather well-dressed, though ...

26616 Partying on the Right -- rank: 1000
<http://www.thenation.com/doc.mhtml?i=20030217&s=henwood> Partying on the Right by Doug Henwood We all had our youthful indiscretions that haunt us for the rest of our lives. Mine was conservatism. Sometime late in high school, I fell under the spell of Milton Friedman and Bill Buckley, and about the first thing I did when I got to college was join the Party of the Right (POR). I didn't last long in the party, only about a year. I got tired of all the pompous rituals, and political san ...

This position does not require Congressional approval. The FDA's Reproductive H ...

As much as I'd love to, fundraisers require name brands who'll make the phones ring. I couldn't believe the effect Chomsky had on pledges - the board lit up like crazy.
