As tipped off by Mr. Lowry himself, there's an article detailing a little bit about his background and the process surrounding his latest book, an indictment of President Clinton for misadministration of the country. (No, this isn't going to be one of those Corner book bleg things.) Although Mr. Lowry had the good sense to go to a school in Virginia, he chose one of the public universities and thus had to swelter in Charlottesville.

Nevertheless, I've always been a little suspicious of Rich, and he finally gives me solid reasons to support that suspicion:

Growing up in Arlington, Va., Mr. Lowry was "rambunctious" and "always dirty and sweaty," more contrarian than troublemaker: When everyone was going on about Star Wars, he didn’t join the herd.

Not only did he got to the University of Virginia, but he grew up in Northern Virginia (more like occupied territory; sooner or later we've got to force the Washington D.C. occupation army out of there...) and didn't like Star Wars.

Lowry, surrender your card in the conservative pantheon right there, bub. Going to U.Va. and growing up in NOVA can be forgiven under the right circumstances (working for the Virginia Advocate goes a long way) but not being a Lucas fan in the 1970s is unforgivable.

Hee hee. For another article on or about Mr. Lowry's latest exploits, (but from a suspect source) see here.
