In the December 10, 1976 issue of National Review, there is a tasty selection of post-Carter-election conservative treats: The acclaimed conservative thinker Russell Kirk attends a conference of Catholic whack-jobs, the infamous Call to Action, and reports on the four days of Theology Gone Wild; Cambodia refugee Yin Savannary files a troubling and powerful report on life under the brutal Khmer Rouge; and attorney Peter J. Rusthoven takes a look at the federal courts’ power-grab binging on Constitution-reinterpreting so that they, and not the legislatures (nor the people who elected them), have the authority to address and redress society’s alleged ills. These great samplings from the Golden Age of NR (frankly, we’re still in it) can be enjoyed every week via NROriginals – subscribe to it (it’s free!) at www.nationalreview.com/newsletters. While you’re there make sure you also subscribe to The Goldberg File (delivered to you every Thursday), Jim Geraghty’s daily political briefing, Morning Jolt, and our afternoon run-down of the best stuff appearing on our own website, NRO Digest.
