interview w/ tom howard

i was delighted to rev up the aggregator today and find a link from pontifications to an old interview w/ tom howard, a man who (to purloin his own phrase) “took my arm and said ‘look.’” the magazine, touchstone, also has a compendium of some articles mr. howard submitted for publication over the years, and i was blessed enough to hear him read aloud one of the articles -- "the wages of reading" -- one friday @ beer & bull (although the article was no doubt better suited to the more refined scotch & theology). i commend them all to you w/o reservation. nobody talks like tom howard talks.
