Dark Horses

From the beginning, the Western lands have symbolized America’s future. Though our institutions were firmly planted on the Eastern seaboard, the pressures of population have pushed relentlessly toward the Pacific. As the population has shifted, so has the center of political gravity.

LaSalle Ave., South Bend, Ind. 46601; $2.95), edited by Senator Paul Laxalt and attorney Richard Williamson, with a foreword by Ronald Reagan. This is a practical legislative manifesto, featuring contributions from seven U.S. senators who range in outlook from staunchly to moderately conservative. It is important not only because of what it has to say, but because of who is saying it.
