Reflections | We gaze on the furry face of
evil, trade with the enemy, frisk Al Gore, put safety last, mourn the political
death of "The Body," catch a Kennedy, fly the defenseless skies, and make the
world safe for hypocrisy. |

Features |
| 19 | Liberty at
Fifteen | R.W. Bradford recalls what we were trying to do, where
we succeeded, where we failed, and where things turned out differently from what

unrepentant. |
