National Review is a consistently good read for anyone, politics aside, simply because it is the written word at its best on world affairs. Sometimes NR outdoes itself. The August 24 issue is one of those times. The cover story on Barney Frank and his role in the American mortgage industry disaster provides readers with a window revealing fundamental power and procedural issues infecting the Hill./ Other highlights include articles on the following: how California immigration is helping the state "catch up" to Mexico, what Sarah Palin can teach prospective winners about managing an election, that illegitimacy equates to poverty and we have a fifty year history to prove it, how the new wave of recent immigrants will congeal rather than melt into the American pot, and a collection of Afghan "postcards" drawn by NR's resident artist, Roman Genn, following his recent trip. There's more, but I'd be reciting 80% of the index page.If you ever wanted to drop $4.00 on a copy and give it a try, this issue is worth every cent. The print magazine has been delivered to my family for two generations, but I highly recommend the digital subscription; however, the digital version is available free to print subscribers.

And, no, I'm not getting a percentage.
