"The WASP character is the American character. It is the mold, the template, the archetype... Without the WASP, it would be another country altogether. Without the continuing influence of his values, it is sure to lose its way." 'The Way of the WASP' @RBrookhiser pic with WFB

@RBrookhiser My guests on my “dream dinner party” list! Doubtful I would have anything to contribute to such conversations, but God gave me two ears & one mouth for a reason- I’d die happy listening without speaking a single word. But . @RBrookhiser must be in charge of the dress code.
