You’ll be happy to hear that the Amazon widgets have reached what I hope will be their final form: stationery and unobtrusive.
There’s a plain Amazon search widget near the top of the sidebar, for the minimalists among you. Then, if you scroll down, you’ll find three larger ones, interspersed at intervals and containing recommendations. But these widgets won’t move, so they’ll no longer distract you nor give you headaches, although every now and then I may fiddle around with some of the selections.
A big thank you to all who have used them so far.

In the WSJ this morning Bret Stephens proclaims the creation of a new designation in the American lexicon: the neo-neocons. He goes on the explain that they are a “bitarisan, single issue group that has recently discovered the virtues, nay, the necessity – of clean, orderly, democratic governance.”
Congratulations!

To all faithful readers who purchase ALL THINGS at Amazon, this is a painless small way to help support this website.
It only requires you to stop by neo’s webpage and click through to amazon to generate some funds.
Just something to log into your memory banks.
Your address at Amazon should look something like this:

Speaking of Amazon, I read some editorial reviews of a book called, “Beneath The Lion’s Gaze”, a novel by an Ethiopian immigrant of a family in the midst of the revolution of 1974.
It has not yet been released, but the reviews are pretty positive.
My interest in this is, among other things, how politics affects families, and revolutions affect families even more viciously.
Speaking of which, I’m going to have a rough time keeping my mouth shut among my clueless relatives come Thanksgiving.
