Two new pieces

I am a terrible updater of this site, as I knew I would be (see the caption to the right). 

Anyway, here are two recent pieces of mine (recent, that is, at this moment I'm posting this).

"Not Yet Falling Apart: Two thinkers on the left offer a guide to navigating the stormy seas of modernity" 

"A Pop Song In Clothes: How Tommy Hilfiger Captured and Lost the Zeitgeist"
