Learning Curb
by S. M. Hutchens
One of the difficulties of advancing age is the weight of a pressing imperative that everything learned earlier must be reviewed and evaluated in light of later learning. I understand this to imply a natural lifespan of the intellect, past which one does not go any more readily than he may escape his allotment of days.

—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."
