Sources of Pollution
One of the tragedies I have noticed during a life of going hither and yon is that particularly lovely places are almost invariably colonized by perverts or barbarians. (Think of the Pacific Northwest, or the “American side” of Niagara Falls—three cheers for the Canadians on this.) In this trait the uglifiers identify with their father the devil, who did it originally with a world that was made good and beautiful.

"There are magazines worth reading but few worth saving . . . Touchstone is just such a magazine."
—Alice von Hildebrand
"Here we do not concede one square millimeter of territory to falsehood, folly, contemporary sentimentality, or fashion. We speak the truth, and let God be our judge. . . . Touchstone is the one committedly Christian conservative journal."
