They'd rather be right

From NYRB, they'd rather be right: Michael Tomasky reviews Comeback: Conservatism That Can Win Again by David Frum and They Knew They Were Right: The Rise of the Neocons by Jacob Heilbrunn (and two interviews with Frum). More on Cancel Your Own Goddam Subscription by William F Buckley Jr. A review of Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, from Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning by Jonah Goldberg (and more and more and more on bizarro history; and an interview). How power-grabbing Russian president Putin has an "ideological ally" he’d like you to meet: FDR. From TAS, an article on Reagan, Rush, and conservatism as the political law of gravity.
