Discussed in this episode
Editor Charles Kesler and Associate Editor Spencer Klavan meet in the afternoon before the first 2024 presidential debate to discuss the new Spring CRB. Kesler and Spencer spin insightful short-term prophecies–and Kesler calls Biden’s flop in advance–using the editor’s note as a starting point. Meanwhile, Lee Edwards’s tribute to Solzhenitsyn’s Gulag Archipelago does honor to an epochal work of dissident literature. There’s a surfeit of great content in the latest issue, from National Conservatism to George Orwell.
