Percy-L: Literary, Religious, Scientific, and Philosophical Discussion of Walker Percy

["Eckert, Robert G SPC RES" <robert.g.eckert AT us.army.mil>]

Thanks for the heads up.

I subscribed to _First Things_ until they struck spooky. These conservatives 
advocate loco violence. 

I don't think Walker Percy would have liked _First Things_.

Percy would have liked Obama. 

Not everything. 

But, Obama is definitely more Kennedy than knucklehead.
