American Fountainhead: Business Hero Steve Jobs (1955-2011)
Donald Luskin and Andrew Greta | 9 October 2011
What a fellow artist said of Howard Roark in Ayn Rand's "The Fountainhead" might have been said of Steve Jobs: “I often think he’s the only one of us to achieve immortality.

Mr. Universe Proves Himself Ordinary
Michael Hurd | 24 May 2011Arnold Schwarzenegger was an immigrant, and claimed to love America because it allowed him the freedom to be all he could be. What did he do with that freedom, ultimately?

Charlie Sheen: Madness Manifest
Michael Hurd | 4 March 2011Sheen is obviously some kind of nihilistic playboy who for whatever reasons now feels free to be his true self, to rant and rage as he never has done before, but has probably always wanted to do. He's no longer encumbered by the need to distinguish between theater and actor, between fantasy and reality.

Parsing Obama
Edward Cline | 9 July 2009What clashes with the news media coverage of Madoff's trial, conviction and sentencing for his crime is the studied obtuseness of the news media for the same crime being committed by the government.
