This issue of The Weekly Standard featured coverage of the London terrorism threat in an article titled "Londonistan" by Irwin M. Stelzer. The magazine's substantial focus was on Supreme Court nominee John G. Roberts Jr., with multiple prominent conservatives—Terry Eastland, William Kristol, and Fred Barnes—analyzing his nomination and judicial philosophy. The issue also addressed Social Security reform, discussing the program's unfunded liabilities and exploring proposals for personal retirement accounts as a potential solution.
