America’s central economic problem is preserving the nation’s capacity to sustain growth vigorous enough to counteract an impending fiscal crisis of escalating national debt. Part of the reason that growth has declined in the last decades is the stifling force of over-regulation. The new administration’s sweeping agenda for regulatory rollback thus need not represent merely political posturing, but has the potential to address one of the most profound threats confronting contemporary America.

While William Faulkner remains the leading figure in the flowering of Southern literature from the middle of the last century, more than a few others are well worth any reader’s attention: Robert Penn Warren, Flannery O’Connor, Caroline Gordon, Eudora Welty, Ernest Gaines, and Peter Taylor in fiction, for instance, and John Crowe Ransom and Allen Tate in poetry.

Drain the Swamp The recent election is the product of a decades-long struggle in American politics that has intensified since 2016. The election produced a victory for the man who caused the intensification, Donald Trump. He caused it by convincing a people, jaded from broken promises, that he would “drain the swamp.” He also convinced the people who inhabit the swamp, and they have scorched the earth to stop him.

Most art lovers know Jusepe de Ribera’s The Club-Footed Boy (1642) in the Louvre, but much of his work can get lost among the Caravaggesque shuffle. It was not so in seventeenth-century Naples, where he settled in 1616 after a decade or so in Rome, or nineteenth-century Paris, where his art was exalted by writers such as Théophile Gautier and Baudelaire and many painters, first Jacques-Louis David and later Jean-François Millet and Edouard Manet. Byron even mentioned Ribera’s painting in Don Juan.

The classic format of an orchestral concert is overture–concerto–symphony. Last night at the New York Philharmonic, we had concerto–symphony. The former piece was the Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor, Op. 37, by Beethoven. The soloist? Yefim Bronfman. The conductor? Paavo Järvi (son of Neeme, the venerable Estonian conductor). Bronfman is a frequent player of Beethoven concertos. He played all five of them with the New York Philharmonic in the 2013–14 season.

It is with great sadness that we report the death of Bernie Marcus, who died last month in Boca Raton, Florida, at the age of ninety-five. To the world at large, Bernie is known first of all as the cofounder and longtime head of Home Depot, the compendious chain of hardware and home-improvement emporia. Bernie and his cofounders opened their first two stores in Atlanta in 1979. Today there are more than 2,300 outlets worldwide, with over two thousand in the United States.

In Whit Stillman’s film Barcelona (1994), there is a scene in which Chris Eigeman’s character, an American naval officer in uniform in the Catalan capital, is taunted in the street by a pretty local girl with the epithet facha, or fascist. Naturally, he takes exception to this, pointing out that a great many men wearing the uniform of the American armed forces had died fighting against fascism.
