Welcome to our new blog, not to be confused with our ” On the Square ” daily article, which can still be found on the home page.
This blog will be a group endeavor, with First Things staffers, writers, and friends commenting and contributing on a regular basis, supplying multiple daily posts on topics ranging from religion in the public square to the arts, science, philosophy, culture, politics, various doings in the blogosphere, and, most important, why Orson Welles couldn’t get a decent movie made in the United States after 1960.
So log on to firstthings.com/blog early and often.
