Recommended: What the Left/Right Gets Right

Thomas Edsall has written two consecutive pieces on the New York Times Op Ed pages in recent weeks that are worth reading: What the Right Gets Right (Jan 15), and What the Left Gets Right (Jan 22).

In the first case he asked some prominent liberal thinkers what they thought the conservatives had gotten right, and in the second case he asked prominent conservatives what they thought liberals had gotten right. The results are quite instructive.
