Robin Marantz Henig,"Darwin's God," NY Times, 4 March.

Jackson Diehl,"The House's Ottoman Agenda," Washington Post, 5 March. A study in times when historical accuracy and national political interest run at cross-purposes.

Point/Counterpoint: Eric Hobsbawm,"War of Ideas," Guardian, 17 February; and Steven Schwartz,"Eric Hobsbawm's Stalinist Homage to Catalonia," Jewcy, 5 March. Hat tip.
