(I am going by this moniker from now on because my last name is very uncommon, and I don't like it when all of my comments appear under my name when it is Googled--for reasons of privacy and also because the comments crowd out--have already crowded out, alas--my more substantive stuff.)

True, but I do not believe he hasnt written an original piece for them in several years. They merely carry his columns.

What we need is more rich paleos who are willing to fund magazines.

In January or February, 1968, while at Pendleton awaiting orders, I accepted an invitation to spend a weekend at a fellow jarhead's home in the San Fernando Valley. I can well remember how amazed I was at the beauty of his parent's modest home and garden. Coming from flat, bleak Chicago, having grown up surrounded by concrete and brick as far as the eye could see, to stand on his little patio/carport and look out over a gently sloping garden of orange, palm, and various other fragrant and exotic plants, and beyond them to a ring of hills, while luxuriating in 60 degree weather in January, stretched the limits of what an 18 year-old could comprehend. In fact, it was the occasion for the only moment of hesitation this eager-for-war kid had. For an instant, a spirit of peace crept up and hovered near me, and I had the thought that staying right there would be as good as anything else I could ever do.

So sad to hear what has become of all that.

I was stunned to hear about the Unz article, much less that it was on the cover. Even National Review wouldnt deviate that far from conservative orthodoxy. This was Pat Buchanan's magazine ? What happened?
