My review of Philip Short’s new biography of Pol Pot is in today’s New York

Sun . Also: A few months ago I passed

some comments on The Corner about Alfred Duggan, mid-20C writer of fine

historical novels, & got several queries from home-schoolers, always looking

for decent fiction for their kids. Well, I have written up Duggan very

comprehensively for the February issue of The New Criterion. You will need a subscription to read it;

but, as I keep telling you, you should have a subscription anyway.
