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,

Son? Some other relation? No relation? This one is a "contemporary classical" musician, among other things. https://www.broadheath.com/:-) Cheers, Scott.

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".) --
