Putting Idealism to the Test
At the end of Thomas Wentworth Higginson's long and unimaginably eventful life, one admiring newspaper reporter described him as someone whose specialty was \"to unite the activities of a political and social reformer with the grace and dignity of a man of letters.\" Over the course of 87 years of nearly ceaseless activity, Higginson had been a teacher, minister, state legislator, fiery abolitionist, women's-rights advocate, colonel of a regiment of African-American Civil War soldiers, author of dozens of books and articles, and the ambivalent but dutiful mentor of an introverted correspondent named Emily Dickinson.

It isn't a provable thesis, but I'd be prepared to defend it: Conservatives know more about liberals than liberals know about conservatives.This is a matter of necessity rather than of virtue. Liberals dominate the places where the big decisions are made: news media, higher education, school boards and K-12 administrations, the entertainment industry, state and federal agencies, corporate boardrooms and so on. If you're a liberal in any of these places, conservatism doesn't require much attention, except as an annoyance. If you're a conservative in any of these places, you must learn to swim in a pool chlorinated by liberalism.
