Has Third Way showed its work? I'm just luxuriating in the faculty lounge here with my Meerschaum pipe and an elderly brandy, but if this related to nutrition, airframe design, or nuclear strategy, you and I would expect the claims to be backed by copious evidence (ie actual candidate statements).

A fabulous @warontherocks.bsky.social piece by James Graham Wilson about the release of new FRUS volume National Security Policy, 1985–1988.

The tone in this letter is absolutely astounding. I'm surprised Gerber didn't throw in a drink order.
i have said before that the fracas at UVA is a product, in large part, of a set of alumni who believe that the university was at its greatest when it was a segregated finishing school for white men. i was not exaggerating, as you can see here in this letter from Scott Douglas Gerber
GERBER: A letter of suggestions for U.Va.’s interim president
