By Gabriel Mckee

…er.” That may prove a tough claim for Baldwin to live up to—the most complex thing about his preachy book The Unusual Suspect are his truly nonsensical extended metaphors.

By Randall Balmer

…athering apparently brushed aside the advice. They chose to retain their fixation on same-sex unions and abortion. The group also trotted out the tired warnings about “judicial activism” as a way of rallying support for McCain (presumably, Barack Obama’s judicial appointments would be “judicial activists”).

By Nick Street

…ion, it seems, is happening all around us. How can the defenders of orthodox faith claim an exclusive franchise on something that’s freely given?

That may turn out to be a winning strategy in anxious times. But if patriotism is the last refuge…

They gather in the heart of the excavated sanctuary of Olympia called the Altis, and they use a parabolic mirror to cultivate Olympic flame out of Greek sunlight. And then that fire is carried from its sacred Olympian source to the soon-to-be host city.
