------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Henry Grunwald Senior Fellow Lance Morrow
City Journal
------------------------------------------------------------
The Democrats’ obsession with identity politics has colluded with President Trump’s provocations to split Americans into polarized tribes—American versions of Croat and Serb, Hutu and Tutsi, Sunni and Shi’ite, Hindu and Muslim.

** LIMIT SOME GUNS FOR COSMETIC REASONS
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Senior Fellow Mona Charen
Syndicated Column
------------------------------------------------------------

** LESSONS IN VIRTUE FROM APOLLO 11
------------------------------------------------------------
The tendency to remember Project Apollo as mere technological wizardry, albeit of a very high order, should be resisted. There were great virtues involved in this remarkable adventure, and without those virtues there wouldn’t be six American flags planted on the Moon by a dozen American citizens, explains EPPC Distinguished Senior Fellow George Weigel ([link removed]) .

By EPPC Senior Fellow Mona Charen

** PONDERING THE GLORY OF AMERICA: WILFRED M. MCCLAY’S LAND OF HOPE
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Fellow Ian Lindquist
Providence
------------------------------------------------------------
A land of hope is one that is ever moving toward a better future but also one that must see its limitations and appreciate how to work within the context of limitation. Wilfred McClay’s account of America ultimately points readers toward this seeming contradiction which, in his woven-together story of the country, reveals itself in the end as the glory of living out tensions inherent in the human condition.

------------------------------------------------------------
Critics once compared the novelist Nelson Algren to Dostoyevsky and Dickens, but even at his best, he lacks Dickens’s warmth of soul and love for middle-class normality, and he does not possess the least trace of Dostoevsky’s intellect or spiritual magnificence. Read More ([link removed])

Syndicated Column
------------------------------------------------------------
Forty years after Pope John Paul II bent the course of the 20th century in a more humane direction during his first pilgrimage to his Polish homeland in June 1979, new information continues to emerge about what happened behind the scenes, shedding further light on those epic events.
