The state of emergency has become the only regularity in our lives. The year is somehow passing, but it seems it cannot get rid of the baggage from the previous one. While some persistently divide and make as argue about all issues, big and small, real and imaginary, the National Review continues to find what brings us together, reconciles, unites us around common values, and thus makes us stronger. And the fact that we bring before our readers from our searches are not comforting crumbs. On the contrary, there are many boulders and pearls, important ingredients ”without which there would not be us in ourselves”. That is why we have been here for fifteen years, everyone. Both the readers and us.
