First we talk about Compact magazine and it’s promise to go beyond right and left, while sneakily trying to sell organized religion as something new. We also discuss why disaffected liberal feminists and former pickup artists choose Jesus Christ.

In the second half, we discuss nuclear family propaganda in American children’s books and what’s different about the communist-era Czech hit cartoon “The mole” and the iconic Soviet kid’s book “Uncle Fyodor.”
