Reading this, I’m actually kind of shocked Andrew Sullivan hasn’t mentioned Fairlie more. I mean, he was a British Oakshottian Tory publication-hopping, anti-Republican journalist-commentator covering American politics too, and I can’t imagine there have been too many others. And Sullivan (who despite all they have in common now, was a Thatcher-Reaganite at the time) took over as editor of TNR the same year Fairlie died! Makes me wonder…

Okay, I guess I just missed these occasions. Like here, and more recently here discussing the very book of which this article is an overview – which bears a quote from him on its dust jacket. Duh.

Still, it’s quite a bit rarer than I would have thought.
