It is with pride that THE WEEKLY STANDARD greets the publication of senior editor Andrew Ferguson's first book, Fools' Names, Fools' Faces, which binds together 33 of his essays. Andy is the writer of whom Bill Moyers once said: "If he were a gentleman, I would challenge him to a duel." It features an introduction by P. J. O'Rourke and a blurb by George F. Will so amazing that we felt we had to reprint it here: "Don't just stand here in this bookstore trying to decide whether to buy this book. Read a representative paragraph -- say, the first paragraph on page 130. Done? Now go pay for the book." (That representative paragraph, by the way, comes from Andy's piece on Don Imus, published here in April.) Fools' Names, Fools' Faces has been brought out by Atlantic Monthly Press at the entirely reasonable price of $ 22.
