By: Bennett, William J.
Published by: FREE PRESS IMPRINT
Today we see little public outrage about Bill Clinton's misconduct.

Why does Al Gore believe that cars pose “a mortal threat to the security of every nation”? Why does the Princeton professor known as the father of the animal rights movement object to humans eating animals but not to humans having sex with them—and why does PETA defend that position? In other words, why do smart people fall for stupid ideas? The answer, Daniel J.

After: How America Confronted the September 12 Era
By: Brill, Steven

By: Jacoby, Susan
