Time To Play “Guess Who”

One is a radio talk show host in clear need of emergency psychiatric care (but is still more welcome in the Republican party than an opponent of the war). The other is the former Speaker of the House, and thus erstwhile second-in-line in the US Order of Succession, a man who seldom goes a day [...]

Let Them Eat Quail

It is tempting to feel resentful when you read about world leaders quaffing disgustingly expensive wines and gobbling “fruitwood smoked quail” at the G-20 summit.

Who is Martin Eisenstadt?
