There was some extensive server maintenance happening here in NR-land so the usual NR Digital posting of Friday was delayed to Monday—apologies for that, should not happen again. It’s up now and read for you (you can do that here if you’re all signed up)—in case you don’t know, any subscriber to the print version of NRODT is automatically a Digital subscriber. (Sign up for the paper version of the paper magazine here.) But, you can also subscribe to the Digital version only. (Do that here.)

In the current–the April 5 issue of NRODT—Ramesh Ponnuru analyzes the death of compassionate conservatism in “No More Mr. Nice Guy” (Dubya’s the non-nice guy). Kate O’Beirne, meanwhile, advises us to chill—it’s too early to panic about the Bush campaign. David Frum reminds you that Bush is your one and only choice—and not an echo. Tad DeHaven,though, does take the time to blast the president’s spending. Byron York takes a look at who those 9/11 families campaigning against campaign commercials are. John J. Miller remembers the last American to die in the Cold War. But there is more. There is Anthony Daniels on Hait. There is Terry Teachout, Jay Nordlinger, John Derbyshire (on your teeth), Michael Knox Beran, Douglas Sylva, Thomas Hibbs, David Pryce-Jones, Steve Moore, Lee A. Casey & David B. Rivkin Jr., Richard Pipes AND MARK STEYN. SO CHECK IT OUT NOW.
