It pains me to confess that I knew next to nothing about the man John Quincy Adam’s. This article has done me a great service by expanding my knowledge of one of our nations most interesting and influential thinkers and leaders. I give my heartfelt thanks to the author for his good work.

There’s much work to be done on this. The site charged my credit card three days ago yet it continues to limit my access to pieces on the app. I sign in with my email, then I’m directed to the email account where, after about a ten minute delay, I find a link to access the web site — not the mobile app. The password created when I first signed up appears to be totally irrelevant. This is quite sad because the stable of writers whom they’ve corralled looks to be quite exciting. Please get this app working properly!

Obviously , none of us have time to read and balance all the op-eds out there. But of greater concern, the writers of those op-eds most often don’t have the time to think about what they are writing. Opinion by compulsion to write is not opinion. UnHerd op-eds mostly come across as contemplated meditations on the issues we find most baffling. And they come in from opposite ends of the table, as well as the entire spectrum in between. What could be more valuable in this rushed, polarized, noisy era?
