A new issue of Europe's World is out. From Policy Review, Peter Berkowitz on constitutional conservatism: A way forward for a troubled political coalition; a review of John Agresto's Mugged by Reality: The Liberation of Iraq and the Failure of Good Intentions; a review of George Being George (Plimpton); and is food the new sex? A curious reversal in moralizing. From Editor & Publisher, an article on the all-digital newsroom of the not-so-distant future. From City Journal, an article on First World urbanites and their contempt for Third World urbanization; and James Q. Wilson on the DNA of politics: Genes shape our beliefs, our values, and even our votes. Mysterious ways: An article on epigenetics, an alternative form of inheritance. A review of Darwin's Island: The Galapagos in the Garden of England by Steve Jones. More on Banquet at Delmonico’s: Great Minds, the Gilded Age, and the Triumph of Evolution in America by Barry Werth (and more from Bookforum). A review of Angels and Ages: A Short Book About Darwin, Lincoln, and Modern Life by Adam Gopnik (and more and more). From Esquire, an article on John Updike and great writers who write bad sex scenes; and what's so bad about socialism anyway? The point may soon come when there are more people who want to write books than there are people who want to read them.
