| Inside Liberty |
| 4 | Letters | Our readers sort us out. |
| 7 | Reflections | We tunnel out from under Boston, dumpster-dive for the day's
news, write Castro's memoirs, chug terrorist Gatorade, lob rockets at infidels,
agree with a Keynesian, further freedom through folk songs, prop up pensions,
build a greener mousetrap, and stagger home stone sober.
|
| Immigration
Yes, No, and Maybe Three of Liberty's writers come in with three
very different takes on what is perhaps
the most
contentious issue facing American libertarians today.
|
| 23 | The Land of Opportunity | Once it was King George who
"endeavored to prevent the Population of these States." Richard Fields
wonders why so many free-marketeers are so eager to join him.
|
| 26 | The Fallacy of Open Immigration | Stephen Cox warns that if
some libertarians get what they say they want, they aren't going to be
happy with the results.
|
| 32 | To Filter the People | For those who wish to enter the U.S., Bruce
Ramsey is willing to keep the door open — but only halfway.

|
Features |
| 35 | Roman Virtues | Whether they were building bridges or assembling
books, Michael Christian finds, the Romans meant their creations to last.
|
| 38 | Paving the 50 States | President Eisenhower's signature brought the
interstate highway system into being, and 50 years later, it's still not complete.
Randal O'Toole surveys the history of a government program that's a little
better than most.
|
| 41 | Objectivism, Alive and Well | How does one build community spirit
in a community notorious for bitter disputation? Lance Lamberton reports from
the summer conference of big-tent Objectivism.
|
| 43 | Only a Mother Could Love | Light brown hair, fair skin, and golden
eyes — there could be no question about it, her baby was a freak.
|
| Reviews |
| 45 | Seeking the Promised Land | Timothy Sandefur recounts the final,
troubled days of Martin Luther King's civil rights movement.
|
| 48 | From the Ashes | With films such as "JFK" on his résumé, how will
Oliver Stone handle the political catastrophe of 9/11? Jo Ann Skousen watches,
and squirms in her seat.
|
| 49 | Who Was Shakespeare, After All? | Seems as if everyone has an idea
about who really wrote those plays. Justine Olawsky investigates the evidence,
and its significance.
|
| 52 | Inconvenient, Indeed | Melting glaciers, global warming, and a lot of
hot air: Thomas Oakeson takes in Al Gore's "feels like we're fixin' to die" rag.
|
 |
| 51 | Notes on Contributors | Our theory and leisure class. |
| 54 | Terra Incognita | The ingenuity of complete fools. |
