Was browsing some old letters on The Atlantic's homepage and noticed their resident sensible libertarian economist-type Clive Crook getting his lunch handed to him on the subject of socialized health care. I've always loved The Atlantic's letters page because the authors actually answer their assailants. This attacker was pretty good, so I was interested to see Crook's response. Funny thing, though: He didn't respond. It's the only letter on the page that directly asks a question of an author but merits no reply. Wonder why that is...
