Cause(s) and Effect(s)

Throughout the half-century, NR has engaged in a variety of causes, some of them successful, some less so-all worthy. Below are summaries of six of them, written by associate editor Anthony Dick.

THE fall of the Soviet Union marked one of the greatest victories for human freedom in history. For NR, it was the culmination of a vigorous, nearly four-decade-long crusade against what Ronald Reagan rightly labeled “the evil empire.” In January 1989, ten months before the Berlin Wall came down, the magazine’s cover announced “The Coming Crack-up of Communism.” Inside, Radek Sikorski wondered how long the USSR-the “sick man of Eurasia”-could stave off collapse.
