| Inside Liberty |
| 4 |
Letters | Okay, okay, okay, we're sorry. |
| 7 |
Reflections | We turn base metals into
political gold, interrupt your stories, toss research ethics to the
hypercarnivores, put Ensign Darwin in his place, burn money Boston style, invert
Vietnam, get nostalgic for the madhouse, make a run for the border, and feel
Kerry's pain. |
|
Features |
| 19 | Lies,
Damned Lies, and Election Analysis | Whether it is mainline pundits or
Libertarian Party leaders offering election analysis, R.W. Bradford
observes, the results are the same: idiotic claims that ignore obvious
facts. |
| 23 | The
Election | David Friedman, Bruce Ramsey, Michael Drew, James Barnett,
Bill Merritt, Tim Slagle, and Stephen Cox offer insights far from the
mainstream. |
| 29 | Liberty and Empire | Some libertarians seem to think that the
world's strongest power needs to be pushy. Ted Galen Carpenter wonders
why. |
| 31 | Freedom:
What's Right vs. What Works | Is man born free? Or do things just work
better that way? David Boaz, Charles Murray, David Friedman, and R.W.
Bradford tackle this tough issue — and its
implications. |
| 41 | The Meaningful Derrida | Jacques Derrida's right-wing critics dismiss
him as a subverter of reason whose critical approach undermines Western
civilization. He is far from that, argues Jo Ann Skousen.
|
| Reviews |
| 43 | The Many
Hatreds of Noam Chomsky | Frank Fox takes a close look at the life of a man who is
much loved for hating America. |
| 46 | Saturday Night
and Sunday Morning | Ray Charles led a fascinating life. But is it the stuff of a
good film? Jo Ann Skousen looks at the latest biopic. |
| 47 | Disease as a Force in History | Bettina Bien Greaves
explores how disease has silently shaped our world. |
| 52 | The Wonder Drug | Bruce Ramsey tells the intriguing
tale of how a drug known to the Egyptians was lost to antiquity, rediscovered in
the 18th century, stolen during the Great War, and now touches our
hearts. |
 |
| 49 | Notes on Contributors | The good, the bad, and the
ugly. |
| 54 | Terra Incognita | Something wicked this way
comes. |
