Editor Charles Kesler and Associate Editor Spencer Klavan convene to survey the summer CRB. Kesler’s editor’s note about the decline of West Virginia University proves timely as universities across the country reveal their funding priorities. Christopher Flannery’s cover essay on President James A. Garfield introduces readers to a neglected American statesman, while analyses of everything from affirmative action to COVID technocracy round out the issue. Plus: some new authors make their CRB debut.
