Bons Mots and Bêtes Noires

Christopher Hitchens reviews Bernard-Henri Lévy’s Left in Dark Times: A Stand Against the New Barbarism in the Times. There are a number of interesting anecdotes in the article, such as the ones about how several prominent French ex-Communists supported Sarkozy against Royal in the most recent French presidential election. But then it kind of fizzles out at the end with a tired, signature diatribe against GOD and FUNDAMENTALISM. (Via Lenin’s Tomb.)
