THE YEAR 2003 MARKS the fiftieth anniversary of Russell Kirk's seminal work, The Conservative Mind. Since Kirk (1918-1994) was also the founding editor of this quarterly review, it is fitting that Modern Age mark this milestone appropriately. But politics are among the most fluid of mutable human affairs; anxiety therefore arises when we set out to celebrate a "political" book after half a century. Will we find upon scrutiny that "[t]he communication of the dead is tongued with fire beyond the language of the living"? Or will we be forced to acknowledge after the passing of the years that this work, once so vital, now can have only an antiquarian interest?
