You probably don’t know this, but the editor of the Human Life Review , Maria McFadden Mafucci, was present for the famous “great raid” that led to the launching of First Things . The Review will be hosting their annual Great Defender of Life dinner in New York on October 28th. Seats are available — they are expensive, but the dinner raises money for the most substantive intellectual source for the pro-life movement — as are ads for the dinner journal.
Several people from First Things should be there, as well as all sorts of interesting people ( other interesting people, I mean, at least I hope that’s true). A good time will be had by all, and if you can go, not only will you enjoy yourself, you will be supporting a very important work.
