  Inside Liberty  

4 Letters Our readers also know how to write.
7 Reflections We shred raptors, allow free speech or a free ride (but not both), add insult to injury, double down on Pascal's wager, fill a wheelbarrow with milk money, keep our conservatism in the closet, run naked to our mailbox, kneel before our new leaders, and give it to the goose but not to the gander.
19 William F. Buckley, R.I.P. Regard him as an ally, regard him as antagonist, regard him as both: Stephen Cox conducts a libertarian assessment of Buckley's importance to the libertarian movement.

Features

21 The Paul Vote The libertarian candidate scales down his campaign; Bruce Ramsey weighs the costs and benefits.
25 Sun, Seegars, and Socialism Once even Castro was young and hale. Doug Casey visits the youthful leader; Robert H. Miller prepares his casket.
29 Thinking About War Is there a libertarian theory about the morality of war? George H. Smith provides some answers.
42 No More Sofia! When the unthinkable happened, one man was told he had to carry on. Jacques Delacroix tells the story.

Reviews

43 Expanding on Rand Warren Gibson discovers a bold and (wonder of wonders) beautifully written work of philosophy, with parallels to the tradition of Ayn Rand.
45 Long Journey, Hard Road J.H. Huebert surveys the life of many libertarians' favorite Supreme Court justice.
46 Double Infidelity There is a battle, as John Lalor and Bettina Bien Greaves report, between darkness and the light. They're on the side of the light.
50 Can't Stop What's Coming Something makes Jo Ann Skousen want to get the hell out of the theater. Oh. Blood.
52 Medianotes Israelis and Egyptians, Darwin, and how I met your mother.
51 Notes on ContributorsThey are who are.
55 Terra IncognitaAll the fits that're new to print.
