| Inside Liberty |
| 2 |
Letters | Our readers know what they want and deserve to say it, good and
loud. |
| 7 |
Reflections | We 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
Law | Terrorism, John L. Martinez argues, must be fought. But
not at the expense of liberty and law. |
| 23 | George W. Bush and the Pageant of History | Dead 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 Liberty | Why are conservatives and
liberals so resistant to the logic of liberty? Michael Acree finds some
startling answers. |
| 33 | Not Your Father's Republican | As 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 Sunshine | God 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 |
| 43 | Guns, God,
and Gays in the Heartland | The Democrats like to present themselves as the champions of
the little man. But Kansas sees through them, and so does Bruce
Ramsey. |
| 44 | Living on
the Fringe | R.W. Bradford pokes around America's vacant
spaces. |
| 46 | Sex, Wine, and Midlife Crisis | Two ne'er-do-wells take a road
trip through the Napa Valley. Jo Ann Skousen wonders why anyone should
care. |
| 47 | Hayek the Enigma | Bettina Bien Greaves surveys Hayek's
intellectual journey. |
|
| 51 | Notes on Contributors | The apples of our eye. |
| 54 | Terra Incognita | Double, double, toil and
trouble. |
