Laura's Links
The New Masculinity
Greetings one and all and welcome to this week's edition of Laura's Links. I'm glad that Yom Kippur is over – it was actually very meaningful and went by surprisingly fast for me this year and without the caffeine withdrawal headache I experienced during the last fast that I did (different holiday). Not surprisingly, like Israeli journalist Haviv Rettig Gur, I had a lot of Big Thoughts throughout the day on a bunch of different topics. There are several things that I want to work on in terms of improving myself this New Year. And when I say 'improving myself' I mean working on closer observance of some of the commandments ("mitzvot") that I believe will really make a difference for me, those closest to me and to circles beyond my own – and ...

Steyn's Song of the Week
Lilac Wine
If you missed today's Song of the Week on Serenade Radio, here's a chance to hear it in a SteynOnline premiere broadcast. Mark explores an eerie revue number by a one-hit songwriter that somehow managed to become a favourite of four generations of female vocalists from Eartha Kitt to Miley Cyrus. Joining Steyn to discuss the song is the multitalented Mike Batt, who aside from all his work with the Wombles, Art Garfunkel et al also managed to produce the biggest-selling version of the number - with an orchestral ornamentation that has since become part of the song. Click above to listen. ~Thank you for your kind responses to this series. Of last week's presentation of "The Way You Look Tonight", Jackie, a Pennsylvania member of The Mark ...

Nancy writes: Every Saturday I wonder how Mark can top each musical offering and then he pulls off a ...
A Clubman's Notes
Nonplussed and Terrified
Welcome back to our latest Tale for Our Time. Listeners seemed to enjoy Part One of our story, so herewith the concluding episode. The Unparalleled Invasion was written by Jack London in 1910, and, although off on some of the specifics, was remarkably prescient on the big picture. Tonight, following the awakening of China and its advance around the world, the western powers decide to - oh, go on, take a wild guess - that's right, call a conference: China was appealed to and threatened by the United Powers, and that was all the Convention of Philadelphia came to; and the Convention and the Powers were laughed at by China. Li Tang Fwung, the power behind the Dragon Throne, deigned to reply. "What does China care for the comity of nations?" ...
