Labels: Doublethink posted by Cheryl # 11:07 AM Tuesday, August 26, 2008 In between drafting countless cover letters, I put out this Summer's Doublethink. As always, there is much to love: a profile of Sam's Club wonks Ross and Reihan, John Schwenkler's raw milk exposé, and Gary Schmitt's meditation on the movie High Noon. Read the whole thing.
