I am sorry for all of the people who have been participating in the interesting conversation about the murder of Dr. Tiller. The comments have been lost, but hopefully will be found. I am told we should be completely out of the woods in this regard tomorrow. We apologize for the inconvenience. Or to quote the IT guy: “Aaargh!”
Update: The comments function seems to be working now. We will try and catch the ones lost tomorrow. Comment from the “comments” link at the bottom of the post. Thanks.
Up-Update: Most of the Tiller comments have been captured. That conversation can continue for those who would like to continue to engage.
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.

If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact Giovanni Del Piero, Director of the Editor’s Circle, at gdelpiero@firstthings.com or 212-627-1985.
