Dear John,
It seems like you haven’t opened an email in a while, so I wanted to check in.
I think you’ll like this round-up of great intellectual thought.
It features a guide to finding conservative minds today, what war taught C.S. Lewis about learning, the inside story of Clarence Thomas, and more.
If you like what you see, you can always update your email settings ([link removed]) to ensure you're getting the Intercollegiate Review every Thursday.
If you’re tired of progressive orthodoxy and the narrowing range of discussion on campus, this is a great way to get the ideas and community you hunger for.
Enjoy!
Best,
Joseph Cunningham

She gives you a head start, too, by listing 54 thinkers you should engage.

** The Inside Story of the Quietest (and Most Controversial) Supreme Court Justice ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Clarence Thomas is the longest-serving justice on the current U.S. Supreme Court.
He remains the most controversial—loved by some, reviled by others.
Thomas is also the quiet justice: he almost never asks questions from the bench and rarely speaks publicly.
You probably don’t know more than a few headlines and the recollections of his contentious confirmation battle with Anita Hill.
But documentary filmmaker Michael Pack has secured unprecedented access to Clarence Thomas . . .
. . . and on April 29, you can hear the inside story ([link removed]) .
