Books, Arts & Manners: A Liberated Liberal

Liberalism and the Politics of Plunder, by Robert Gillmore (William L. Bauhan, 261 pp., $9.95)

Robert Gillmore is one young liberal columnist who is worth reading. Unlike most liberal pundits, he has his own center of gravity. He doesn’t simply attitudinize or find a new ad-hoc excuse every day for keeping in phase with the latest progressive emanations. He has principles, reasons, arguments.
