Two new books were reviewed in this past Sunday's Boston Globe, and
unfortunately the article was not available online, well, for free....
But both books looked particularly interesting to this forum, and I take
the time to type in their titles and authors-
Culture Matters: How Values Shape Human Progress
Edited by Lawrence E. Harrison and Samuel P. Huntington
Basic Books. 348 pp.
The Twilight of American Culture
Morris Berman
Norton. 205 pp.
