description: Vital center. Radical middle. Amid the red state/blue state divide, is there now space for an iconoclastic militant moderate? In this unusual and remarkably readable collection of short essays on a wide variety of hot-button public issues―race, affirmative action, surrogate motherhood, diversity, immigration, compensation of 9/11 victims, exclusion of gays from the Boy Scouts and the military, the 2004 election, the rule of law in developing countries, the invasion of Iraq, and many more―Yale Law School professor Peter H. Schuck reveals the distinctive sensibility and policy orientation of a militant pragmatic, reformist, nonideological, empirically minded, and skeptical of many liberal and conservative pieties.
