For weeks now, the Scrapbook has been chronicling the strange, symbiotic relationship between Jack Kemp and supply-side publicist Jude Wanniski. Now comes a piece of primary evidence on the meaning of Jack ‘n’ Jude. It’s located on Wanniski’s Web site, which he uses for the worldwide distribution of his correspondence.

Jonathan Chair of the New Republic recently interviewed Wanniski about the Jack ‘n’ Jude dynamic. Wanniski was displeased with the article that resulted. “Your column,” he writes to Chait, “only informs readers that we are so close as to be indistinguishable, and that therefore Jack is my puppet, a man who believes tax cuts can solve all the world’s problems.”
