  Inside Liberty  

2 LettersOur readers know what they want and deserve to say it, good and loud.
7 ReflectionsWe take heart from Iraqi elections, tax a nose job, waltz past the Border Patrol, recall an ambassador, find God near Saturn, oar while intoxicated, ward off trial lawyers, and tell them young punks to pull up their pants.

Features

21 The War on LawTerrorism, John L. Martinez argues, must be fought. But not at the expense of liberty and law.
23 George W. Bush and the Pageant of HistoryDead Romans, Texas annexation, God's true and righteous judgments — presidential inaugurals have seen them all. Stephen Cox assesses the most recent offering in a long and strange tradition.
26 Who's Your Daddy? Authority, Asceticism, and the Spread of LibertyWhy are conservatives and liberals so resistant to the logic of liberty? Michael Acree finds some startling answers.
33 Not Your Father's RepublicanAs governor of Maryland, Robert Ehrlich fought off trial lawyers, teachers' unions, and a Kennedy; he even signed a bill legalizing medical marijuana. What will he do next? Run for president? John Berlau reports.
39 Pierre SunshineGod didn't permit him to be perfect for no reason. How often has a baby, black or white, been born this perfect in Saint Domingue?

Reviews

44 Living on the FringeR.W. Bradford pokes around America's vacant spaces.
46 Sex, Wine, and Midlife CrisisTwo ne'er-do-wells take a road trip through the Napa Valley. Jo Ann Skousen wonders why anyone should care.
47 Hayek the EnigmaBettina Bien Greaves surveys Hayek's intellectual journey.
51 Notes on ContributorsThe apples of our eye.
54 Terra IncognitaDouble, double, toil and trouble.
