Opinion Digest

The news you need to read...

Mark Steyn: Memorial Day reflections on "The Battle Hymn of the Republic.

James Allen: Hamilton wins wild GP of Turkey; Red Bull self-destructs before our very eyes.

Charles Krauthammer: There's more than enough blame to go around in the Gulf oil disaster - and you might be surprised by some of them.

Thomas Sowell: Don't let scapegoating distract us from real problems.

Dennis Hopper, R.I.P.  The two things I remember most about Dennis Hopper are that he was a vocal supporter of Ronald Reagan, and that he couldn't believe he'd gotten an Oscar nomination for Hoosiers rather than Blue Velvet:   "Hoosiers?  I got it for Hoosiers?"  Oh yeah, he also made some movie called Easy Rider.  There's a temptation to think that perhaps that's more than Dennis Hopper himself remembers about his life (it's sure more than he remembers about his turn in Apocalypse Now), but his life truly was quite a time.  Joe Neumeier offers some thoughts on Hopper's legacy
