Features

19 Liberty vs PATRIOTismPatriotism and unity are important in times of crisis — but so is preserving individual liberty and the democratic process. Chip Pitts and Jennifer Holmes explain.
21 The Trouble With DarwinCharles Darwin's theory of evolution is accepted as scientific fact. Yet, as Gordon Tullock observes, its most remarkable characteristic is how poorly it fits the data.
29 Libertarians, Conservatives, and the Religious RightA holy alliance between Evangelical conservatives and libertarians is exactly what the world needs, Joseph Bast explains.
35 Perception, Control, and AnarchyIs the human brain hard-wired for anarchy? Michael Acree unearths some surprising psychological evidence.
39 Can Islam Change?The trouble with Islam, explains Frank Fox, is that it still hasn't found its Martin Luther.
41 The Devil in Ms. YatesWhy did Andrea Yates do the horrible thing that she did? Sarah McCarthy looks for an answer.
43 No Man's LandNo taxes, no regulations, but all the ice you can use. Steve Pendleton reports from an anarchist's paradise.

Reviews

49 The Forgotten IndividualistMiles Fowler looks at the fiction of a neglected giant of 20th century individualist thought.
53 Holocaust Denial on the LeftThose who defend Jewish history against "Holocaust deniers" have done a greater injustice to humanity than deniers ever could, Barry Loberfeld explains.
55 Notes on ContributorsWho's responsible for all this?
62 Terra IncognitaBatten down the hatches.
