Books, Arts & Manners: Centrism Rampant

Cutting Edges: Making Sense of the ’80s, by Charles Krauthammer (Random House, 221 pp., $17.95)

Charles Krauthammer is so judicious he makes George Will look like a mud wrestler. He is judiciously equidistant between Left and Right on all sorts of issues; he stands for “centrism” in politics; his tone is Solomonic. I was going to read Cutting Edges, a collection of his columns and essays, in the bathtub, but it seemed a little improper somehow.
