Parts of it are available for free online, including my introduction to a special section on The Future of Conservatism. (The whole issue can be accessed by registering.) With essays by Kenneth Minogue, Daniel Johnson, Andrew C. McCarthy, Jeremy Black, and John O&amp;#8217;Sullivan, this chrestomathy&amp;#8211;a sort of digest of a conference we organized with London&amp;#8217;s Social Affairs Unit last autumn&amp;#8211;is certain to be of lively interest to anyone concerned about the fate of Western civilization. One caveat: The New Criterion&amp;#8216;s web site is undergoing a total makeover. For the moment, however, only the most basic functions are operable, and even those, like Pooh&amp;#8217;s spelling, can be wobbly. Please bear with us.]]&gt;</description><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jan 2008 15:58:44 -0500</pubDate><creator xmlns="dc">&lt;![CDATA[Roger Kimball]]&gt;</creator><enclosure url="" type="image/jpeg" length="123" /><link>https://pjmedia.com/roger-kimball/2008/01/01/the_proper_conservative_view_o-n114487</link></item></channel></rss>
