This is your basic conservative public service announcement. The Claremont Institute is now receiving applications for the next round of Publius Fellowships . If you are a young conservative with aspirations to become a writer or some other toiler in these fields, I highly recommend you apply. I’ve never done it, but I’ve known scads of folks who have and I’ve always been very jealous of them for it. Plus, my esteem for Claremont knows no bounds. My one suggestion: Don’t let the mind-meld with Harry Jaffa go too long. Imbibe the wisdom you can, but don’t go into the light!
