To restart the economy, think of Covid-19 more like driving a car By EDWARD LAMPERT, Special to the Sun America has been responding to the Covid-19 pandemic like it’s a hurricane — stay inside until it passes. A more constructive and realistic approach would be to treat it like driving a car — find rules that reduce the risk. Ordinary life durin…
By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun The new Democratic pre-electoral chorus is already audibly arising like a Wagnerian finale from the largely hidden choir. President Trump, they intone, bungled this and must be investigated for his incompetence which is costing countless American… In the Trump Era, The Case for FDR As a Conservative By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun Writing on President’s Day last month, I engaged in the fundamentally disagreeable activity of taking issue with people with whom I always wish to agree and generally do, on the still unsettled subject of Franklin D. Roosevelt. My contention for man…
By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun Even in such a worrisome and dangerous time as the current public-health and economic crisis, there are some entertaining election-year maneuvers. The Trump-hating press has been reduced to desperate weaving back and forth in their search for a…
The History Spans Four Presidents By DAVID SHLAES, Special to the Sun One of the things that is coming into focus in the crisis over the coronavirus is that the United States has failed on so many fronts. There was the lack of U.S.intelligence during the early days of the epidemic in China and the lack of attention to…
By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun The political aspect of the coronavirus crisis is developing in a familiar way. The president’s enemies in the press have led the propagation of panic in the country, and have been given enough encouragement to do that from the scientific community… Truman’s Famous Buck Is About To Stop Again With the President By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun The near-term future of America’s physical and financial health now depends on weighing public-health and commercial data in a gigantic cost-efficiency study as disease and economic recession compete as the principal public enemy and the main call upon the nation’s human and financial resources. This was a foreseeable stage but is on us more quickly than had been generally expected. Play Ball: Baseball Is a Reason We Fight for America By IRA STOLL, Special to the Sun If it weren’t for the coronavirus outbreak, this week would mark the opening of the Major League Baseball season. Instead the league has indefinitely postponed opening day, deferring to a recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control an…
By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun Evaluating the political impact on the election campaign of the coronavirus pandemic is obviously hazardous, but not fruitless or impossible. We can see from the Chinese experience, although that government has lied about every other aspect of the… The Coronavirus: Reports of Death Of Compassion Seem Exaggerated By IRA STOLL, Special to the Sun “Pandemics Kill Compassion, Too,” is the headline over a David Brooks column in the New York Times predicting that the coronavirus is about to “inflame class divisions.” Well, if the New York Times editorial page is going to use the pandemi…
By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun After rattling the country with his implausible bravura and rather embarrassing statements at his press conference last week, where he astounded the scientific community with the depth of his epidemiological knowledge, President Trump is now turning…
By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun The hecatomb of unsuccessful Democratic candidates raises questions about the current viability of the Democrats that they will have to address in the next four years. It appears that the powers that be in that party were so fixated on the easy… Biden Presidency Could Be Bonanza For Trial Lawyers By IRA STOLL, Special to the Sun A Biden presidency would be a bonanza for plaintiff’s lawyers. After his strong performance in the South Carolina Democratic primary and on Super Tuesday, Vice President Biden has been consolidating support among a wide range of key Democrati… What Would FDR Do? The Only Thing We Have To Fear Is Fear Itself By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun The combination of concerns about the spread of the coronavirus and the upheavals in the world oil market has shaken public confidence and created a susceptibility to panic, to which, as usual, investors were the first to succumb. Look Closely and Bloomberg Ran On Trump’s Platform Too Late, He Opened a New Lane for Democrats By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun Almost lost in the intense coverage and analysis of the Super Tuesday results, and the remarkable relaunch of Vice President Biden as an ark of moderation for the traditional liberal Democrats, is the subtle initiative taken by Michael Bloomberg in… Kearsarge: ‘I’d Prefer To Die Here’ (No Rush) By TOM McLAUGHLIN, Special to the Sun I call it “Kearsarge” and it dominates the view westward through our picture window from my recliner where I’d been spending a lot of time recovering from leg surgery. It wasn’t always called that, however. An old woman who owned a property I man…
By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun The attempt to hang coronavirus around the neck of the President is a movement that has gone from a standing start to neck-snapping speed, as opportunities to discredit Donald Trump in the American press generally do. President Trump was criticized…
By IRA STOLL, Special to the Sun What will the coronavirus outbreak mean for the presidential race? It could go at least two ways. The best-case scenario for President Trump is that the virus doesn’t spread widely within America. Mr. Trump could then claim credit for stopping it. Th…
