Observations and Quibbles


Both on the historical issue of the extent of the American founders’ indebtedness to classical antiquity, and on the normative issue of the value of the classical legacy, I think we’re all agreed that it’s a complicated mix.

Nick DeFriez, followed by recurring subsections. First comes a meditative essay, then Weather (a digest of meteorological episodes for the given month); Nature Notes (samples: Broad-Leaved Helleborine, The Gregarious Whirligig Beetle ); and At Home ( Sheepskin Care, Successful Softwood Pruning, Make Your Own Bear Grease ). ....
