The Economist’s “Lexington” column snipes at National Review this week, describing NR as a magazine from which a Republican will learn only that “abortion is a bad thing yet again.” There is a lot that could be said about that comment, but I think the key thing to say to Adrian Wooldridge, the Economist’s Washington editor, is this: I’m sorry my review of your book hurt your feelings, and I promise to write a rave of your next one if it’s any good.
