Burroughs a poster boy in The Gap ads on MUNI bustop structures here in S.F. You must never watch pundit shows or Charlie Rose. (Who?) www.andrewsullivan.com

>From Adam Mars-Jones - London Review of Books
Sullivan defines conservatism and liberalism with some care, and his account
of these ideologies is relatively lucid. . . . When he deals with the
prohibitionists, . . . his tone is never less than conciliatory, and often
craven. It would be a different matter if he was explicitly writing from a
Catholic point of view. . . . In context, though, the chapter on
prohibitionists is simply grotesque to read, with Sullivan apparently
fighting the urge to genuflect. He presents a slowly crumbling orthodoxy of
intolerance as a fearless advance into the light.
