There's just one problem, Congressman Cow Patty: A lot of us did eat it, including many of your constituents. The $1.2 trillion - let's spell that out as $1,200,000,000,000 - that disappeared from the stock market on Monday didn't go down a black hole in lower Manhattan.

In many ways, Solzhenitsyn passed moral muster where his literary betters failed. His was, after all, an age when almost every major intellectual had fallen under the insidious spell of either Stalin or Mussolini, when arcane arch-modernists like Ezra Pound were flirting with fascism and when Sartre would infamously declare, “There is total freedom of criticism in the U.S.S.R.” It is not difficult to understand, then, why an appalled and battered public found inspiration...
