The Steinem Revolution (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Gloria Steinem, who recently died, has been the subject of a stream of tributes in all the best journalistic venues. I’ve read a few but they are all the same. She was the voice of Second Wave feminism who forged a new path for adult women to leave the home and root themselves in professional life alongside men, thus becoming their equals. They say she led this movement and made her mark in history. Get a paying job. This was her mantra. She pitched it as liberation. Any man in the workplace cou
The Cello and the Myth of the Gift (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is a mystery associated with the string instrument called the cello. The instrument itself is the product of hundreds of years of development before finally it arrived in the current form. Played well, by a master, it can sound ominously like a human voice. It can even go beyond that to become anthropomorphic. It seems to have real emotions like joy, pathos, despair, and hope. In recording, it is one thing. In live performance, it is startling and unforgettable. This is why history’s great
The Waltons on the American Heresy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Set in the 1930s in the Depression years, and featuring daily life of a multigenerational family, “The Waltons” has this ongoing theme that love, family, and community are more enduring than any material abundance.

The museum is situated in the place where the author Earl Hamner Jr. grew up. There is the main house, which i
The Bond Market Tells the Truth (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Politicians of the world are nonchalant toward astronomical debt levels in every developed nation. They should pay closer attention to what bond markets are saying. Traders can see the forecasts for spending, growth, debt, and inflation. The numbers no longer make sense. The result is rising yields all up and down the curve, moving in a way that central banks can no longer control. It was Bill Clinton who first observed how bond markets are a beast that no one can control. His adviser James Carv
Why Erudition Is in Freefall (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week, I was looking for an evocative word that meant dark, dangerous, ominous, threatening, and with a kind of overlay of a scene or environment. I knew such a word existed because I had used it before. I could not recall it. You know this tip-of-the-tongue feeling. It’s frustrating. I tried every tool to find this word. It appeared nowhere, so I gave up and settled on some poor substitute. It still bugged me that a word had gone missing from my vocabulary. Somehow, however implausibly, the
