Tripod of Government Lapses as Johnson Era Debate Rages
The piece critiques the three branches of government under Johnson, likening the executive to a strong leg while the legislative and judiciary wobble. It deplores a Supreme Court viewed as narrow and meddlesome, praises strong Congress past reforms, and argues for balanced power. It also shifts to a tangential, humorous note on everyday language and street safety.

To the Point by Russell Kirk
Russell Kirk argues militant atheism fails to prove God’s nonexistence and uses an ant parable to illustrate human limitations. He contends finite beings cannot grasp divine wisdom and notes the gulf between human and divine knowledge. He reflects on how ants’ limited perception mirrors the impossibility of confirming or denying God through human reasoning alone.
