	The Conservatism of Fools: A Response to John Derbyshire
		In an earlier article, Derbyshire described himself as philo-Semite who traces his attitudes on Jews to his pleasant childhood memories of a local Jewish family and "the numberless kindnesses that I have received at the hands of Jews, friendships I treasure and lessons I have learnt.
		Derbyshire lives in a sort of childlike world in which Jewish interests are legitimate and where Jewish attempts to pursue their interests, though they may occasionally be irritating, are not really a cause for concern much less malice.
		In the end, Derbyshire is the epitome of that sad and paradoxical figure, the Judaized intellectual discussed in The Culture of Critique for whom Jewish attitudes and interests, Jewish likes and dislikes, now constitute the culture of the West, internalized by Jews and non-Jews alike.

	A reply to John Derbyshire (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Derbyshire thinks this will be the case because the U.S. will strain itself to the breaking point bailing out obsolescent private defined-contribution pension systems, and then have nothing left to bail out Social Security and Medicare.
		Derbyshire confuses science with technology some, but science has stoppedbecause we in the West have nothing more to say about it.
		Derbyshire is, understandably enough, looking at it from the viewpoint of an American, for whom the U.S. has an inside and an outside, and who thinks that Americans should some control over what comes in from outside.

		Derbyshire tries to give the reader a glimpse into the life and mind of this quite, shy, and pious visionary not just to provide the back drop to his famous hypothesis but also, I think, to extol his virtues as a man and a scholar.
		Derbyshire is not one of those people, nor is he a murderer or thief or otherwise "evil".

	Rudyard Kipling & the god of things as they are by John Derbyshire (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		He sent John to Wellington, a school with strong military connections—it was founded in memory of the duke—and obviously intended him for a military career.
		John was killed in his first action, on one account being shot in the head while storming a German machine-gun position, on another “crying”—probably a euphemism for “screaming”—in agony with half his face blown away.
		John Kipling seems, from the Holts’ account, to have been an amiable and rather endearing youth, not especially distinguished in any way, definitely not intellectual (at age fourteen he claimed he had read none of his father’s books), but witty and good-natured, chiefly interested in playing cricket.

		And John Paul II was, as conservative obituarists of every persuasion have noted gratefully, one of the key figures in the fall of Russian Communism and its East European empire.
		Vigorous, handsome, plain-spoken, clear in his convictions, and obviously afraid of nothing terrestrial at all, John Paul II shone like a lighthouse through the fog of fear, doubt, and defeatism that had shrouded the West and its values through the 1970s.
		It is therefore sad to reflect that the quarter century of his papacy was a terrible disaster for the Roman Catholic Church.

		In Prime Obsession, John Derbyshire deals brilliantly with both Riemann's life and that problem, which was to find proof of the conjecture "all non-trivial zeros of the zeta function have real part one-half".
		That statement may be nonsense to anyone but a mathematician but Derbyshire walks the reader through the decades of reasoning that led to the Riemann Hypothesis in a way that makes it perfectly clear.
		Derbyshire breaks the book up so that the odd-numbered chapters cover mathematical details and the even-numbered chapters cover historical background of the story.

		Derbyshire, a gifted storyteller, takes the reader on an exhilarating journey of discovery as he painstakingly illuminates the meaning, mystery, and power of those eleven short words.
		Derbyshire knows that some of his readers will have fear of flying, or only be able to fly for short distances, so he patiently breaks scary-looking formulae into bite-size pieces and gives you the general rules you need to know to digest them.
		Derbyshire doesn't pretend it's easy and doesn't spare you any of the necessary math, but he makes it as palatable as it can be made, I think, and gives just as much as you need.
