I just noticed something about New York Times copy style — the word federal is capitalized but the term Cold War is not. In other words, a proper NYT sentence looks like this: “The Federal government fought the cold war.” Here at NR, we do it the other way: “The federal government fought the Cold War.” It’s a little thing, but it tells us a lot about competing worldviews.
