A Clubman's Notes

Heart and Sole

As we approach the close of The Mark Steyn Club's seventh birthday observances, I want to thank all those First Week Founding Members who've signed up for an eighth year. I'm absolutely delighted. In celebration of the occasion, I've launched a new weekly audio show and produced an extended edition of our traditional cavalcade of Non-Stop Number Ones.

In tonight's episode of The Secret Adversary, the mysterious and elusive Jane Finn has suddenly recovered her memory: At ten o'clock, the two young men were at the ...
