The Sun Shines on Eternity
14 June 2005

The New York Sun, Seth Lipsky's young conservative daily, has yet to make the dent in The New York Times conservatives hoped it would; for better and worse, it's not another Washington Times. But like Lipsky's last effort, his revival of the old Yiddish Forverts as an English-language weekly, The Sun shines brightest at its most eccentric. Today's paper, for instance, features an op-ed on the nature of eternity by the conservative Jewish writer Hillel Halkin. But what makes it really weird is that Halkin states the case for the ancient pedigree of the conservative bete noire of "postmodernism," "moral relativism."
