Believe the Children?

Big Laughs With Important People
Last spring, ABC News sent movie heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio to interview Bill Clinton for an Earth Day special, a decision which reflected a lovely symmetry: In terms of human maturation, the 25-year-old actor and the 54-year-old President are approximately the same age (19).

Whose Women’s Studies?
Women’s studies has emerged and, in large measure, won its place in the academy as an unabashedly political undertaking. “Teaching,” according to Florence Howe, a path breaker in women’s studies, “is a political act.” “Education,” Deborah Rosenfelt adds, “is the kind of political act that controls destinies.” In effect, they insist that education as we...
Geneology of a Movement
During many an evening conversation, Sam Francis, Murray Rothbard, Lew Rockwell, and I have dwelled on a particular topic with relish: Who was the first neoconservative?

Ethiopia Lifts Her Hands
In a classic book of humor entitled The Experts Speak, we find an impressive collection of failed prophecies and wildly inaccurate predictions: Television would never catch on, nobody needs a personal computer, and so on.

The Sentimentalist Conspiracy
“Actum est de republica.” āLatin saying The Bourgeois Age is finished, but a principal feature of Victorianismāthe fullest and most developed expression of that eraāstill flourishes.

All Gone in Search of America

The Need for Real Majority Rule
Democracy, Churchill is supposed to have said, is a very unsatisfactory form of governmentāonly it’s better than any other kind that has been tried.
