...Renaissance church, but it was one with the Churchillian spirit-militant, sonorous, confident of being in the right. The church that symbolized the survival of the British nation and the hymn that symbolized the endurance of the American Union-the suddenly mingled echoes of Agincourt and Antietam-served to remind the world of a kinship that goes deeper than shifting alliances and new patterns of power. It was an Anglo-Saxon moment that could not have been lost on Charles de Gaulle, among others, and its impact was lessened only by the absence of the President of the United States...

We were told that the tocsin had sounded for the classics. Quite the opposite, apparently, has happened. Teachers of Latin have not only learned how to teach Latin, but in many instances have actually mastered their subject. The improving standard of pedagogy has attracted students who actually master the subject themselves. The proponents...
