The Virginian
Check, Please
Dave Shiflett | 2.8.02
One greets the launch of a new publication with an open heart and extended palm. Such is certainly the case regarding the long-awaited Prowler.
Washington Prowler
The Anti-Reagan Four
The Prowler | 2.8.02
What’s wrong with these people? Plus, Janet Reno remains testy, and an emerging sister act in Southern California.
Movie Takes
A Sizzling Macbeth
James Bowman | 2.8.02
Scotland, PA does for Shakespeare what Clueless did for Jane Austen.

David and Dan
Wlady Pleszczynski | 2.7.02
Luckily, not every political columnist comes off as mushy as David Broder.
To Be Absolutely Frank
Nationalism Right, Left, and Center
Francis X. Rocca | 2.7.02
Jörg Haider is back in the news, in today’s ”New York Times” no less. And what is Austria’s best-known (living) right-wing demagogue up to now? More praise for the Third Reich, perhaps?
Washington Prowler
The President’s Scorecard
The Prowler | 2.7.02
Plus, New York’s seething senators. Cashing in on Sheila Jackson Lee.
The Current Crisis
The Post-Enron War on Soft Money
R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. | 2.7.02
Alas ‘tis true — campaign finance reform is again in danger of being passed in Congress where our elected representatives admit that they cannot be trusted with the money they raise.
Buy the Book
Mobocracy: Not What the Founders Wanted
2.7.02
Matthew Robinson demonstrates how media coverage can bias polling results, and how polls are abused by journalists, pundits, and politicians to advance agendas and to attack opponents.

Weddings and Birthdays
Wlady Pleszczynski | 2.6.02
What’s in a wedding picture? Does Andrew Sullivan still care? Plus guess who’s birthday some of us remembered?
Washington Prowler
Cheers and Jeers and No More Tax Cuts
The Prowler | 2.6.02
Reading Clinton right and Daschle wrong. Is there a Russ in our future? Israel’s reservoir of Good Bill. Plus more Supreme jitters.
Live From New York
The Pope and Jewish Lawyers
Jackie Mason & Raoul Felder | 2.6.02
Last week during an annual meeting with Vatican magistrates the Pope delivered a papal bombshell. He said lawyers ”should always decline to use their professions for an end that is contrary to justice, like divorce…”
Loose Canons
Axis of Evil, Chapter 1: Why Not Iraq?
Jed Babbin | 2.6.02
With Afghanistan almost over, it’s not unreasonable to ask, why aren’t we bombing Iraq? The answer is that we’re not capable of doing what we did in 1991, and our so-called Arab allies — that is, the Saudis — won’t cooperate.

Ambrose and Goodwin One Last Time
Wlady Pleszczynski | 2.5.02
No one likes to get caught, but some handle it better than others, especially if George McGovern is on their side.
Washington Prowler
Idealists and Opportunists
The Prowler | 2.5.02
You decide which statesmen and politicians belong under which category. Bill Clinton, for example. Or Paul Wolfowitz. Plus Nancy Pelosi and Katherine Harris.
Another Perspective
We Are At War
Reid Collins | 2.5.02
But what does that mean? And what is President Bush’s State of the Union Doctrine all about?
At Large
Davos Diary
John Corry | 2.5.02
So many dignitaries and famous people, so many captains of industry, heads of state and assorted politicians. Exactly how many, however, nobody knows, but there are at least 2,500 and probably more, and the number depends on who is counting.

Opening Day Titters

Questions, Questions
The Prowler | 2.4.02
Money, television, audits and life in the fast lane — in other words, just your typical news day.

One Hostage’s Life
Jed Babbin | 2.4.02
One of the ugliest aspects of a war with terrorists is hostage-taking. It was inevitable that our war would, at some point, include the taking of Americans as hostages.
Movie Takes
Who Do They Think They’re Kidding?
James Bowman | 2.4.02
Our movie critic reviews Birthday Girl, starring Nikoletka Kidmanova.
Lifestyles Left and Right
The Culture War: Report From the Front Lines
2.4.02
Last time we looked, the Vatican — to put it delicately — frowned on abortion. This fact has apparently escaped the attention of the faculty at one of the nation’s major Catholic universities, Villanova, near Philadelphia.
