Deneen on Wendell Berry's unnatured man and Wendell Berry on leadership from the bottom; an article on nuclear policy and the presidential election; rethinking public opinion: Thomas Fitzgerald on the problems of polling; a review of Millennial Makeover: MySpace, YouTube, and the Future of American Politics by Morley Winograd and Michael D.

America has a growing skills problem; public policy should refocus attention to the early years of childhood and away from its current emphasis on the later years. No Subject Left Behind: Diane Ravitch on how to stick up for subjects — history, literature, the arts — that fewer and fewer students get a chance to learn. From Ars Disputandi, a review of The Cambridge Companion to Arabic Philosophy.
