A columnist for the N.Y. Old Bag asks why is a guy who’s been dead for six years a top issue in American life? The man who is asking writes with forked pen. He should know, as it’s his rag that’s putting a nonissue on its front page every day. The nonissue covers for the total breakdown of ...
Michael Wolff is being pilloried, and although he’s a friend, he deserves some of it because of his dealings with the arch pimp and blackmailer Jeffrey Epstein. For any of you traveling abroad in North Korea, what Wolff has done is play uncle to the blackmailer-pimp, no longer with us, thank God. ...
I may be in the minority, as my stances are in many matters, in the Tucker Carlson brouhaha, but it was only a matter of time before the Israeli lobby and the neocons would find a villain to help people forget 68,000 dead and counting in Gaza, most of them innocent women, children, and old people. ...
A very long time ago, the beautiful ex-wife of a major Hollywood star mistook me for my father, a rich shipowner and industrialist.

(In their case the downside reveals itself after a while, but the start is always brilliant.) I suppose my ...
Lady Annabel Goldsmith left us last week at the age of 91. During Jane Austen’s time, their roles would have been reversed. She would have been Darcy, with Mark Birley and Sir James Goldsmith as Elizabeth Bennett. Both her husbands were wellborn but of inferior birth to her. I met her about sixty ...
Political violence and political revenge have been around as long as...politics have. I grew up with it in Greece. As a 5-year-old, looking down across the street of a chic Athenian neighborhood, I remember seeing a chauffeur-driven car’s open door and a bald man bending down in order to enter ...
Underneath the patina of newsworthy slogans is a moral and intellectual sewer the size of the Serengeti.
