Commentary

The day before the Vance–Walz vice presidential debate, I was having lunch with a gentleman with an old-world education, certainly of the highest levels, but just Brooklyn public schools in the old days. He is not a credentialed intellectual in any official sense, but it was fascinating to hear him speak about almost anything, even when we disagreed.
