Chris Demuth steps down as president of AEI and pens an ode to the think tank in the WSJ. Something that caught my eye since I’m reading Hitchens’ Letters to a Young Contrarian now:

Every one of the right-of-center think tanks was founded in a spirit of opposition to the established order of things.
