Other writings

In this department, you will find pieces by TLD regulars and irregulars that don't fit in other departments, as well as pieces by our honored guests and by those who have, alas, lapsed from contributing to TLD.

• One of the books I keep praising in these pages is Wendy Shalit's A Return to Modesty: Rediscovering the Lost Virtue (1997), but now Dr. F. Roger Devlin presents a much sharper analysis of Shalit's thinking, especially as revealed in her second book, Girls Gone Mild.

"The feminine sexual counter-revolution and its limitations"

• Malcolm Reynolds wrote four excellent pieces for us in 2004 and 2005. Here's his contents page.

• As you'll see from my editor's note, I've wanted to get a discussion like this going since I founded TLD. If it takes off, it probably will come as close to being a continuing "blog" as anything you'll ever see at our site. Enough said: "Stand, children of the West!" (December 30, 2005)

• Sarah Knox Taylor returns, in the immediate wake of Hurricane Katrina, with this eloquent appreciation of a New Orleans that we fear has been obliterated: "Rappaccini's daughter: A eulogy." (September 6, 2005)

• Back in the days of the print version of TLD, we always celebrated the arrival of an article by Sarah Knox Taylor, that stalwart and eloquent daughter of the South. Now we celebrate again, upon the posting of Miss Taylor's first writing for the TLD Website — but at the same time, the occasion pierces our heart: "Death of a pilgrim." (March 12, 2005)

• Just in time for the Big Election of 2004, we received a second communique from our old friend Sally Druthers: Dear Nick ... (October 31, 2004)

• A final exchange of views on racial matters between our Belgian reader and one of his American interlocutors was posted February 6, 2004.

• A Belgian reader poses some questions about race, and Ronn Neff, Dr. Stephen J. Sniegoski, and Nicholas Strakon offer some thoughts by way of reply. Don't miss the concluding exchange between Neff and Strakon. (November 28)

• A featured letter to the editor on democracy from TLD reader Jack Dennon was posted November 22.

• Fans of the print version of TLD may remember occasional letters from a certain reader who always did her best to keep us honest. She's found us here on the Web: Dear Nick ... Let's not panic. (October 28)

• David T. Wright, Ronn Neff, and Nicholas Strakon all participated in our "Encounter with a reader on war and empire." Some friends of TLD got their two cents in, too. Posted April 30, 2003.

• In a guest article that TLD is honored to publish, Dr. Tomislav Sunic — writer on public affairs, former professor, and former diplomat — shows how "Intellectual terrorism," official and unofficial, works both in Europe and America. (Dr. Sunic may be familiar to readers of Chronicles magazine.) (April 10)

• I've collected here five pieces by former TLD writer Duke O. Erle, all posted in 2002.

• Senior editor Ronald N. Neff has criticized libertarian electoral activism in many of his writings. Now Libertarian editor/publisher and Senate candidate Jacob G. Hornberger nails five questions onto Mr. Neff's door. And Mr. Neff answers. (February 3, 2002)

• In a "public-domain" article that TLD has picked up at his invitation, Edgar J. Steele explains his justifiable "Air rage." You've probably seen the accompanying graphic by now, but if you just can't get enough of it, here it is again. (November 30, 2001)

• From TLD 14: Historical writer Phil Collier's succinct but powerful (and very timely) "Limited-government empire: A confederacy of oxymorons" has been posted. (November 14, 2001)

• Voluntaryist editor Carl Watner's introduction to Ronn Neff's article "I'm Spartacus." Reprinted by permission. (October 23, 2001)
