ADVERTISEMENTS

Thanks (I think), Rick, for calling attention to John Haldane's embarrassingly flattering profile of me in Standpoint.  I fear that what is most noteworthy about it, though, is that one of the world's most acclaimed and gifted philosophers managed to get three things wrong in a single sentence.  He says that I am (1) "youthful" (I wish!); (2) "stylishly dressed" (well, by the standards of 1937 perhaps); and (3) "fully up-to-speed with the electronic information culture" (my wife has to remind me every few days how to turn on my cell phone).  As for his claim that I am the new "leader of American intellectual conservatism, the heir to William F. Buckley Jr, Richard John Neuhaus, Irving Kristol, and Ralph McInerny," the danger there is that my mother will actually believe it.  I'm pretty sure she's the only one at risk, though.
