That raises an interesting point for discussion around here. I’ve met Sullivan and Derb and was enriched by the experience on both counts.

But there are some conservatives I’ve yet to meet. Among those I would most like to remedy that situation are:

Mark Steyn

Paul Johnson (though as a TV producer I did technically meet him, but never chatted)

John Lukacs

Harvey Mansfield

Margaret Thatcher

Mark Helprin

And then there’s a whole slew of conservative folks that I’ve met but have never really had a good conversation with. But that’s a list for another day. Fortunately, I will meet Johnson on the British Isles Cruise.
