Just clicked through to read about something mentioned earlier : A 55-square-foot apartment is on sale in Rome for just over $69,000.

55 square feet. That’s 5’ by 11’. I mean, sure, it’s on the Piazza di Sant’ Ignazio , but $69,000?

I’d trust the story a little more, if it didn’t come from the Telegraph , where another featured story today is headlined: “Aliens have deactivated British and US nuclear missiles, say US military pilots.”

Maybe the tiny visitors wanted to be sure their Roman apartments weren’t destroyed.

Dear Reader,

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.
