New Frank Wilhoit in 2018
He secured a kind of immortality with this observation in a comment thread at the “Crooked Timber” blog:
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:

There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time.
cordially,

New 's what I sed, innit?

New Not Wiki yet but Google gets a variety of other sites: this pithiest-yet ∑ gots Legs already.
Good Show! drook
New DeLong has a pointer to the full comment.
It's just as good.

Wilhoit occasionally comments on DeLong's blog and Balloon-Juice as well. He's a sharp cookie.

Cheers,
Scott.
New Was a professor of political science

New Back from the dead?
Son? Some other relation? No relation?

This one is a "contemporary classical" musician, among other things.

New Whoops, didn't notice the dates
I'm guessing a son.

New Moonlighted as a detective in Oxford.
WP:
Wilhoit lived alone, and he was an opera aficionado.
BTW, DrooK: No mention of any family, the sentence quoted above is all it says about his personal life, so I'm guessing composer and aphorist Frank is not a son. (If anything, "lived alone" feels like "confirmed bachelor", i.e. code for "closeted gay".)
