| Inside Liberty |
| 6 |
Letters | Our readers lecture us about original intent, the Victorian
economy, liberty tried and triumphant, elephants in the doctor's office, and
more. |
| 9 |
Reflections | We risk jail for our bad
attitude, make baseball look like America, celebrate the art of political
softball, balance the Constitution's checks, fight the war on terror one
intelligence failure at a time, pine for Al Sharpton, and remember history
through the bottom of a shotglass. |
|
Features |
| 17 | The Bush
Blunder | George Bush believed the American public's anger about 9/11
would let him get away with just about anything in Iraq. It's becoming clear that
he was wrong, writes R.W. Bradford. |
| The Free State Project |
The plan: get 20,000 small-government activists to move to New Hampshire and
downsize the state. Is the Free State Project an ambitious and noble movement by
courageous patriots, or just another kooky attempt to build an impossible "free"
state?
| 21 | Freedom in Our
Lifetime | Alan W. Bock explores whether the plan can
work. |
| 23 | A Revolution by
Other Means | Max Orhai takes a look at the intellectual foundations,
the membership, and the goals of the project. |
| 27 | Reclaiming the
American Frontier | It's time for a new generation of pioneers to claim their
heritage as free people, Tim Condon argues, even if that means moving to
the Granite State. |
| |
| 29 | A
Special Time | Richard Kostelanetz discovers that things were different
in the 1960s. Note: This file is in .pdf format. To view it, you

| 40 | Present
at the Creation | Don Meinshausen recalls the birth of the libertarian
movement and all the hell-raising it entailed. |
| Reviews |
| 47 | The Road to
Freedom | By all accounts, the ragged army of colonials were no match for
Britain's professional army. So how did they prevail? Stephen Cox looks
for the explanation. |
| 49 | Perfectly Naive | Closing tax "loopholes" for the rich,
Mark Skousen says, is no way to help anyone. |
| 51 | Goldman
Lite | You
might suppose that a PBS documentary about an anarchist would be badly done.
You'd be right, opines Richard Kostelanetz. |
|
| 52 | Notes on Contributors | Contributing to the delinquency of
majors. |
| 55 | Terra Incognita | There's no escape. |
