Chapter 2
The New York wind was damply chill as Elliot and Denise Vreeland left Ansonia’s five-story brownstone at 90 Central Park West, but Elliot’s thoughts were not with his surroundings. That his father was not alive seemed impossibly foreign to his entire orientation, to his entire [...]

No, thank you. I don’t want to replace a Two-party system with a Tea Party system.
The 9th Circuit Appellate Court just upheld the words “under God” remaining in the Pledge of Allegiance. The ACLU is expected to appeal the case directly to God, since given how things are going in the United States the Almighty [...]

Originally published in 1995 on The World According to J. Neil Schulman
If you hang around fringe political movements, as I’ve done for the last quarter century, you’re constantly getting a sense of déjà vu — “been there, done that.” Bring up any current political controversy for discussion, and within a couple of minutes you’ll be [...]

I think the clear and honest answer is, “yes.” But I am, and have always been, unequivocally opposed to conscription at any time, for any purpose. I wrote my novel, The Rainbow Cadenza, to make the strongest pro-natural-rights and anti-utilitarian [...]

A lot of people whose only exposure to history is from sound bytes are familiar with the phrase “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself,” and they know that these words were spoken by President Franklin Delano [...]
Twenty Questions for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has called the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York’s World Trade Center and the Pentagon “a complicated intelligence scenario and act” used by the U.S. as an excuse for the war on terror, Iran’s state TV has reported. “September 11 was a big lie and a pretext for the war [...]
