This issue of The Weekly Standard combined literary criticism with political commentary during the 1996 campaign season. James K. Glassman examined John Updike's latest work and its exploration of American faith, while Jessica Gavora critiqued novelist Barbara Kingsolver's leftist politics. The cover story by Noemie Emery and P.J. O'Rourke contrasted George Washington's wisdom with Hillary Clinton's vision for government, with O'Rourke devoting substantial coverage to what he saw as the troubling philosophy behind Clinton's recent book.
