The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

by James Panero

Posted: Oct 24, 2005 03:43 PM

Last Friday, The New Criterion and Britain’s Social Affairs Unit hosted a conference at the Union League Club called "Threats to Democracy." The papers and discussion from this conference will be edited for publication in an upcoming issue of the magazine.

It may seem like just another day at TNC, but it’s hard not to get star-struck by the gentlemen pictured at the conference above. They are, from left to right: Max Boot, Kenneth Minogue, Roger Scruton, Robert Bork, Mark Steyn, Keith Windschuttle, Michael Mosbacher, Roger Kimball, Douglas Murray, James Piereson, Anthony Glees, Herbert London & Michael Gleba. The photographer ... is Daniel Pipes.

UPDATE: "Kimball Augustus, te salutant!"
