Reading

Some excellent readings for this week:

• Les Carpenter for Yahoo! Sports describes how whites and blacks in South Africa are embracing each others' sports. Maybe they'll make a sequel to Invictus?
• Anthony Esolen's essay on manhood and the sexual revolution is a beautifully crafted polemic. This is a reminder of why the study of the 'humanities' is worthwhile - and how far it has fallen when students are expected to craft arguments ex nihilo. Hat tip to Tim Vail - a real man.
• Edmund Spenser's Prothalamion and Epithalamion in honor of many weddings, past and fast approaching.
