4. Remembering Joseph Brodsky
An appreciation of the exiled Russian poet and winner of the Nobel Prize for literature. By Cissie Dore Hill.
5. The Case for Free Trade
In international trade, Hoover fellow Charles Wolf Jr. argues above, deficits don't much matter. Here Milton Friedman and Rose Friedman discuss what does: freedom. A ringing statement of logic and principle.
