Weekly Standard Review
In the introduction to The Weekly Standard: A Reader 1995-2005, Bill Kristol announces that in his selection he attempts to communicate the magazine’s “essential history and its spirit.” Judged by this standard Kristol has succeeded. This collection does the job admirably. Alternately brilliant and maddening, hungry for blood and glory, funny, obsessed with Israel, provocative and snide, the book, like the Weekly Standard swerves between jocularity and sanctimony with the invincible confidence of a drunk driver. - Michael Brendan Dougherty
