As one of those baby boomers who came of age during the folk-music revival of the 1950s and 1960s, I was attracted immediately to Lauren Weiner’s “ Where Have All the Lefties Gone .” The article is a must for anyone who wants to know more about the music, its makers, and the changin’ times in which it thrived. On a slightly different historical tack, I also enjoyed reading Robert Miola’s review of Eamon Duffy’s Fires of Faith: Catholic England Under Mary Tudor . I’ve now added the book to my winter “to read” list.
While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.
Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?
Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.
How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
