China's New Rulers: The Secret Files China's New Rulers	Andrew J. Nathan, Bruce Gilley Nathan	China's New Rulers contains the first insights into matters of great importance to the West: who will lead China, what changes they may bring to their country, and how they may act as international partners and competitors.
Fear and Loathing in George W. Bush's Washington Fear and Loathing	Elizabeth Drew Drew	Russell Baker in his preface writes: "In Washington an age of moral and philosophical sterility is deeply entrenched, and as Elizabeth Drew's reporting attests, the result is not pretty. "
Fixed Ideas: America Since 9.11 Fixed Ideas	Joan Didion Didion	Joan Didion describes how, since September 11, 2001, there has been a determined effort by the administration to promote an imperial America—a "New Unilateralism"—and how, in many parts of America, there is now a "disconnect" between the government and citizens.
Glory and Terror: The Growing Nuclear Danger Glory and Terror	Steven Weinberg Weinberg	Steven Weinberg, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist, writes that America today "has an unprecedented opportunity to begin to escape from the risk of nuclear annihilation." But, he warns, President Bush is not only letting this opportunity slip away, he is, in some respects, moving in the wrong direction.
A Handbook on Hanging Handbook on Hanging	Charles Duff Duff	With barbed insouciance, Charles Duff writes not only of hanging but of electrocution, decapitations, and gassings; of innocent men executed and of executions botched; of the bloodlust of mobs and the shabby excuses of the great. Contributors: Christopher Hitchens

Justice at War: The Men and Ideas that Shaped America's War on Terror Justice at War	David Cole Cole	David Cole takes a critical look at John Ashcroft, Alberto Gonzales, John Yoo, and David Addington, the men who made the decisions that shaped America's war on terror. Cole argues that America can prevail against the threat of terror not by dismantling the checks and balances that guarantee the fairness of our justice system, but by restoring them.
Looking Back Looking Back	Baker	In these eleven essays, all originally published in The New York Review of Books, Russell Baker looks back on a group of iconic public figures from his own past.
Miami and the Siege of Chicago Miami and the Siege of Chicago	Norman Mailer Mailer	1968 was one of the most tumultuous years in American politics and society, the effects of which reverberate today. Norman Mailer was on the ground, covering Nixon's relentlessly stage-managed nomination in Miami as well as the Democratic convention in Chicago—where the violence at the heart of the American dream exploded on the streets.
