Through Sunday, I am attending the American Political Science

Association annual meeting in Philadelphia. On Saturday afternoon, I am

on a panel giving a VERY short (5 pages) paper on The Imperative of Natural Rights in Today’s World. If you are interested, you

can access it <a

>. (I am sure that, as always, there must be lots of typos, etc. that

will be cleaned up in the editing process, so please overlook any you

may come across.)
