|
| Inside Liberty |
| 4 |
Letters | Fair? Balanced? Democratic. |
| 5 |
Reflections | We frisk Santa, smoke in the
street, set fire to France, chase cheetahs, hail the new king of the jungle, give
God the hook, and inspect Chinese bras. |
|
Features |
| 13 | I Vote Against
Liberty | Just what can one freedom-loving individual accomplish as a
member of a small-town planning board? Jane S. Shaw finds out
firsthand. |
| 16 | The Roots of
Liberty | Dave Kopel discovers the bright roots of liberty, in the
Dark Ages. |
| 19 | Pearl Harbor: Japan's Gift to FDR | What did the president know
about the Pearl Harbor attack, and when did he know it? Bettina Bien
Greaves assesses the evidence. |
| 28 | The Anti-Semitism of My Youth | Colleges, golf courses,
government agencies: it wasn't that long ago that their gates were open only to a
select many. Richard Kostelanetz grows up in mid-century
America. |
| Reviews |
| 31 | The Craft of Ayn
Rand | Stephen Cox guides readers around the great writer's
workshop. |
| 33 | The Mighty Flynn | Politics may be complicated, but at least
the New Deal was easy: everyone for it was a liberal Democrat, and everyone
against it a conservative Republican. Right? Not so fast, says Jeff
Riggenbach. |
| 41 | America Contra Mundum | There's not much use in mourning the
Constitution we've lost, Bruce Ramsey laments. Especially when there are
threats to the Constitution we still have. |
| 45 | Zzzorro | Looking for a thrill-packed
holiday blockbuster? Jo Ann Skousen wakes up just long enough to point
elsewhere. |
 |
| 44 | Notes on Contributors | The monkeywrench gang. |
| 46 | Terra Incognita | Outlook not so good. |
