Remember the early 90s, when bookstores used to sell t-shirts with charicatures of famous authors on the front and descriptions of their writing on the back? And it was really lame?
Please please please please please don’t do a t-shirt. No good can come of this.

The Asia Times “Spengler” t-shirts have the inscription:
“It’s not the end of the world.
It’s just the end of you.”
Might do double duty.

I’m partial to the new covers. I would consider a t-shirt that reproduced either of the two so far.

Your caption should be a play on the word “first.”
“Make a LASTing Impression. Read First Things.”
“So good, you’ll want seconds. First Things Magazine.”
Sorry, that’s all I could come up with.

on second thought, maybe none of us wants to think of us as a public square, let alone a naked one. (being a square in private isn’t so bad)

We like the one about the figurative public square, and reactionaries for a better tomorrow, and First Things: First”. Nothing too pompous or pseudo-intellectual please! How about
