Good deal.  I haven't had a chance to look at it yet, but I will do so and respond in due time.  Hopefully it it won't take 9 months. ;-)   I'll give you this, Richard, even though I wholly reject your Jaffianism.  You get in there and fight, tooth and nail.  And you fight passionately as an educated man who cares about conservatism.  Your colleague John Andrews and any number of Colorado bloggers won't fight me, those wusses.  You stand as a beacon to them because, if conservatism is to be saved, it will be saved only by the kind of clarification the intense debate between paleoconservatism and neoconservatism affords.  Andrews and his ilk are idiotically relying on the momentum of the "Reagan Revolution", and the neopseudoconservative "think tanks", periodicals and lobbies that it spawned, to save conservatism.  It is a rare event indeed that they will engage a Buchanan or a Sobran or a Bacevich or a Trifkovic or a Scheuer or a Kauffman.  And on their left flank are execrable fellows like David Frum, who are applying modern "conservative" logic consistently.  Good Lord.   Thanks, and I'll keep you posted.   Your Obedient Servant,   S.
