The clash over civil rights and preferences in US policy
In a Los Angeles seminar, Ward Connerly warned of a culture war over whether civil rights belong to individuals or groups, while Clinton named Bill Lan Lee for acting deputy AG for civil rights amid partisan battles. Republicans split over affirmative action, wary of political cost, as House Republicans blocked a bill to end racial preferences. The piece argues for individual rights and questions group-based rights in federal programs.

Far‑flung critique of Clinton foreign policy
Feder argues that U S interventions in Bosnia and Haiti were driven by panicked altruism rather than vital interests. He claims missteps include late responses to massacres, propping up ineffective regimes, and diverting military resources to idealistic missions. He warns of eroding credibility and urges a pragmatic, interest‑driven U S strategy.
