...political party. Nye's particular brand of rebellion is driven too by an intense feeling that the combined forces of federal law, environmental activism and urban growth may have doomed a mythic frontier life-style. Says Karl Hess Jr., a senior fellow of the Cato Institute, a conservative think tank: "What they really want is to build walls against the future...
...WORLD HAS SEEN IT ALL BEFORE: a cease-fire is signed, the guns fall silent, hopes rise. Then somewhere in Bosnia a sniper's bullet or a mortar round or a tank attack sheds blood, and war begins again. Countless times since the start of the wars of Yugoslavia in 1991, a truce has been declared. Each time it has collapsed.

In fact, by retaining the basic principle of insurance, they preserve health care as a salad bar where you can eat as much as you want at no extra cost. The Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank, wants to go further: arrange it so that people pay for most normal medical expenses out of their own pockets. Cato would gradually increase Medicare's deductibles and copayments--currently $716 for the first 60 days of a hospital stay, and $100 a year plus 20% of doctors' bills...
