Wonderful news from the British think tank Policy Exchange: They have appointed the brilliant Dean Godson as their new director. Dean, a dual US-UK national, is the author of a massive study of David Trimble and the northern Ireland conflict. He is Britain's acknowledged expert on the problem of social cohesion in a society in which radical Islam has gained a footing. He is also my dear friend of now more than 25 years. Congratulations to Dean and to PX. (Note: I serve on the board of American Friends of Policy Exchange, but have no role in hiring decisions.)
