  Inside Liberty  

4 LettersFighting the good fight.
7 ReflectionsWe break a thousand laws, worship a million gods, pull levers in prison, send the feds on vacation, declare terrorism illegal, fire a few missiles over Toronto, take a few cheap shots, dress down, shoot up, and eat cake for Ayn Rand's 100th.

Features

20 Marxism of the Right?Libertarianism's strength, John Coleman argues, lies in its not being an ideology of any sort.
23 Rattlesnakes, Tacos, and TetracyclineAfter a rattlesnake bite, Robert H. Miller nearly lost his arm. Fortunately he was treated by a Mexican hospital, not an American one.
30 Searching for Utopia from Upstate New York to the Horn of AfricaSpencer MacCallum examines the migration of a libertarian utopia — from motel to cruise ship to colony — and looks forward to the realization of a stateless society.
36 Willy Loman: Good-bye and Good Riddance"Attention must be paid" to the death of Willy Loman? Travis Stewart pores over the works of Arthur Miller and wonders whether too much attention has already been paid.
40 One Nation, Under Whose God?With fundamentalist religion entrenched in the executive branch, Norman Ball asks, do prayer breakfasts trump Cabinet meetings?
42 Kharma Come & Kyoto + TenTamara Wilhite provides two glimpses into a future less free.

Reviews

44 The Man Who Made AmericaWhat do you get when you take the platitudes of Marxist historiography and apply them to the heroes of the American Revolution? Apparently, Timothy Sandefur discovers, a Pulitzer Prize.
46 Punch Drunk Oscar"Million Dollar Baby" isn't the film many on the Right made it out to be, Jo Ann Skousen reports, but the Academy Award for Best Film still should have gone elsewhere.
48 Wanderings in the QuestFor art about the "heartland" to be memorable, it must at the same time satirize its subject and embrace it. Stephen Cox explores a classic instance of doing both.
51 Notes on ContributorsOur nearest and dearest.
54 Terra IncognitaSnippets from the real world.
