CITIZEN DERB
Four years today. Celebrating? Sure--dinner with Harvey Mansfield (& 15 other guys). Been reading his book--much harder than I'd thought. "Thus science is unpretentious on behalf of mankind but in a manly, pretentious way; this is the wrenching complication to which Nietzsche compels manliness ...Read More...

Beckett
Plays in which nothing much happens are nowadays pretty routine. Harold Pinter wrote a shelf-full of them, and got the Nobel Prize for his efforts. (As, by the way, did Beckett, in 1969.) Even in the 1950s such plays were not a new thing; Eugène Ionesco had already launched his "theater ...Read More...

REFORMED
A couple of readers to this effect: "Aren't you a bit embarrassed to be laying in to illegal immigrants, having confessed that you yourself were once an illegal immigrant?"[Derb] No. I look on it as being sort of like the reformed drunk at a temperance meeting.Besides, there's INSIDE and OUTSIDE. ...Read More...

TALKING POINTS ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
News coverage of the illegal-immigrant demos was awash with happy-clappy clichés on the subject, every one of which has a straightforward answer. Samples.---"They're just coming here for a better life." Well, that's also the reason people rob banks. If you rob a bank and get away with ...Read More...

SAUCE FOR THE GOOSE
"Since Mexican political leaders from the ruling party and the opposition have been demanding that the United States ignore, alter or abolish its own immigration laws, they have opened their own internal affairs to American scrutiny. The time has come to examine Mexico's own glass house."

DERB ON NADLER
My apologies: I have been occupied with other stuff & had no time to respond to Richard Nadler's NRO piece yesterday, as I ought to have, and as several readers urged me to.

NEWS FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD
While we all focus obsessively on the tribal squabbles in the Middle East, things are happening elsewhere. See, for example, this report on China's relentless build-up against Taiwan.
