Congratulations to YUVAL LEVIN

. . . for winning the BRADLEY PRIZE. Someone is to be praised for giving the award to someone who’s actually up and coming, and to someone who thinks outside (in some ways) the Bradley box. You would think the various potential Republican candidates would be lined up around the block hoping to get a bit of Yuval’s savvy wisdom . . .

I would have given a prize to Pete too. And based on his really tough last column on immigration policy and such in context, I would also have given one to Ross Douthat. I will comment on that column, but only if Pete doesn’t get around to it.

If they ever introduce a musical category, Carl is a no-brainer.
