This issue examined the legacy of American communism through two major works: a new biography of Whittaker Chambers and David Horowitz's memoir about his Communist-dominated life, with articles exploring both the historical significance of these witnesses to the communist movement. The issue also covered Clinton administration second-term troubles, liberal attitudes toward law enforcement, and featured essays on Alan Dershowitz's secular philosophy, the photographer who documented major events, and the surprising popularity of composer Arvo Pärt's minimalist music.
