King’s College Chapel Inspires With Music And Debate
Prof Foxwell invites readers to quiet the mind with music at King's College Chapel. An account of the chapel’s architecture and stained glass contrasts with a critique of political economy, praising old structures as enduring giants amid shifting economic theories. The column then presents Gold Statistics noting India’s debt under gold standard and US borrowing, arguing for silver free coinage via the Populist party.

A Year’s Newspaper Writing Compared To Books
An old newspaper Yorker calculated a year of work, averaging a column and a half daily on weekdays and three columns on Sundays. With twelve columns a week and two weeks off, he writes about fifty weeks a year. That equals roughly twenty 40,000 word books per year, making Crawford’s two books per year seem manageable by comparison.
