This issue of The Weekly Standard examined the Clinton administration's "National Conversation" initiative through Matt Labash's skeptical cover story on Mr. Hackney's efforts. The magazine also covered Republican anxieties about the presidential race, with Fred Barnes and David Brooks analyzing party divisions, while David Brooks reported on religious conservatives reasserting their influence within the GOP. Additional coverage included opposition to the Rohatyn nomination, critiques of Republican UN-bashing, and reviews of books on data policy and American urban decay.
