I hope Larry watched his back and kept a firm grip on his wallet while celebrating the Cardinals' World Series victory--recent news reports indicate that St. Louis is the most dangerous city in America.

Like Larry, I also attended the Hillsdale conference, but I wasn't on the program. In addition to Larry's talk, I enjoyed the offerings from Richard Epstein, P.J. Hill, Jim Couch, and Lawrence Reed. Another highlight was meeting Mark Steckbeck of The Liberal Order.
