  Inside Liberty  

4 LettersThe first word.
5 ReflectionsWe clone Ted Williams, panhandle with a president, get high on hate, empty a chamber pot, kick at a skeleton, pepper an air marshal, rip down some signs, visit a dominatrix, get fingerprinted, and get taken for a ride.

Features

17 Searching for Evil in SyriaOur government tells us that Syria is a bastion of evil. Doug Casey checks it out.
20 A Man's Body, A Man's RightSome people would pay any price for the extra years a new kidney can provide. Too bad politicians won't let them. Bart Croughs dissects the issues.
23 Why Don't Americans Save? Blame GreenspanAlan Greenspan bemoans our low savings rates. R.W. Bradford discovers that he has only himself to blame.
26 The Plot to Regulate Video GamesInsert enough quarters — say, $90 million worth — and scientists will tell you why the government should regulate video games. A.J. Ferguson refutes them for free.
29 The Coming War With IranPresident Bush assures us that military action against Iran isn't in the cards. Alan Bock tells how the president has stacked the deck for war.
31 Fix Social Security Now!We know the Social Security system is broken. Durk Pearson shows that the alternative plans that have been suggested won't work either, and proposes a plan that will.
37 The Importance of Henry HazlittJude Blanchette explains why the man who introduced millions to the simple logic of economics was a pivotal figure in the revival of liberty.
41 Anarchist SocialismA never before published gem by libertarian pioneer J. Wm. Lloyd.

Reviews

45 The New NoirTodd Skousen takes in the film version of a graphic novel, and espies the future of cinema.
46 Socialism's Last BastionGary Jason exposes the illogic of postmodernism, and the motives of its adherents.
50 Freedom's Farthest FrontierMillions of years from now, in a galaxy very close to home, a lone hero fights an invisible state for his life, his love, and his sanity. Mark Rand reports from this brave new world.
52 It's the Outcome, Stupid!Jo Ann Skousen explores the fine line that separates tragedy from comedy.
51 Notes on ContributorsThey also serve, who only stir the pot.
55 Terra IncognitaToo funny to be true? Too sad to be fiction?
