Buckley on Andrew Young and the United Nations analysis
William F Buckley Jr reflects on Andrew Young as an engaging but naive figure, accusing him of aligning with Black Power rhetoric in Africa and complicating U S policy. He critiques Young's stance on communism, disease, and oppression, comparing his global posture to historical misuses of power and calling the UN hypocritical.

What Memorial Day Means to a Modern Reader
John P Roche reflects on Memorial Day as a Civil War origin, the challenge of teaching history to his daughter, and the broader theme of rootedness in a highly mobile postwar generation. He notes his daughter’s question about the memory of the war, the Civil War reunion pictured on the wall, and the pull of heritage through Roots and ethnicity. He also contrasts his generation with postwar youth and touches on his Irish ancestors and the Fenians.
