Description
Readers will find here not only the country’s leading conservative
thinker offering a passionate defense of limited government, but also a
highly independent mind whose views—on feminism, evolution and the
death penalty, for example—defy ideological convention. Things That Matter also
features several of Krauthammer’s major path-breaking essays—on
bioethics, on Jewish destiny and on America’s role as the world’s
superpower—that have profoundly influenced the nation’s thoughts and
policies. And finally, the collection presents a trove of always
penetrating, often bemused reflections on everything from border
collies to Halley’s Comet, from Woody Allen to Winston Churchill, from
the punishing pleasures of speed chess to the elegance of the perfectly
thrown outfield assist.
What matters? Lives of the good and the great, the innocence of dogs, the cunning of cats, the elegance of nature, the wonders of space, the perfectly thrown outfield assist, the difference between historical guilt and historical responsibility, homage and sacrilege in monumental architecture, fashions and follies and the finer uses of the F-word.
What matters? Manners and habits, curiosities and conundrums social and ethical: Is a doctor ever permitted to kill a patient wishing to die? Why in the age of feminism do we still use the phrase “women and children”? How many lies is one allowed to tell to advance stem cell research?
