Morning Fire. Warrior Faith.
*** The team at SteynOnline is appalled and horrified by the terrorist attack in the UK today as those gathered to celebrate their Jewish faith in a synagogue in Manchester. Live updates can be found here. Our prayers are with the families affected. *** Hello again one and all and welcome to another edition of Laura's Links. I'm putting the finishing touches to this column in the midst of preparing for Yom Kippur - the Day of Atonement. It's a 25 hour fast, and it is quite a solemn day. I attended a Torah lecture last Shabbat, and the Rabbanit (Rabbi's wife) who was giving the lecture talked a bit about how we prepare for the fast and for the day. One of the things we do is have a large, festive meal. I never really thought about it too ...

What the U.N. Hath Wrought
Programming note: Tomorrow, Wednesday, I shall endeavour to be here for our midweek Clubland Q&A taking questions from Mark Steyn Club members live around the planet at 3pm North American Eastern - which is 8pm British Summer Time/9pm Central European. Hope you can swing by. ~That Trump Gaza deal? To be honest, I don't have a clue. Might be - for the first time in three-quarters of a century - a genuine breakthrough, as opposed to the phony-baloney breakthrough of the Oslo "accords". On the other hand, I am instinctively opposed to anything that bigs up Tony Blair - even under Trump's chairmanship, as the new "Board of Peace" will be. As a UK correspondent emailed this morning: why put the Anti-Christ in charge of the Holy Land? To ...

A Trip to Space: The Right Stuff
When The Right Stuff was released in the fall of 1983 in prime Oscar season, it had been just two years since America had officially restarted its space program with the launch of the shuttle Columbia. By that point it had been almost a decade since the last Apollo mission, during which it looked like the U.S. was out of the space race after making it to the moon.

The Seventh Age
On this first weekend of autumn in the northern hemisphere, here we go with Part Four of our new audio adaptation of a favourite book among Steyn readers: America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It. In this week's episode, we run the numbers on demographic energy: Take an alphabetical list of nations of the world and start at the beginning: 1) Afghanistan. In 2005, the rate of births per 1,000 people in the country was 47.02. 2) Albania. In 2005, the rate of births per 1,000 people in the country was 15.08. That means Albanians are breeding at a third the rate of Afghans. As noted above, 'replacement' fertility rate – ie, the number you need for merely a stable population, not getting any bigger, not getting any smaller – is 2.1 ...
