  Inside Liberty  

4 Letters Readers' riposte.
7 Reflections We cry with the president, police our potties, stay in debt, save tasty animals, meet Mike Milhouse Huckabee, manage sustainable infrastructure services, thank politicians for flashing us, take marching orders fro al Qaeda, bring Russian nukes out of mothballs, drink with a racist, and determine we will not say "shall."

Features

18 Tiebreaker Bruce Ramsey offers a guide to the wonderland of assignment-by-race in American public schools.
21 The Wreckage of Truth The quest for truth can leave a lot of devastation behind it. R.W. Bradford visits the ruins of two failed utopias, one of which died a natural death, the other of which was murdered.
29 Getting Serious About Diversity Jonathan Slow reveals the employment practices of a vitally important university.
32 The House of Ninety Keys Is safety really our most important business? Bill Merritt reports from abroad.
