My Experience with the Library of Congress
By Leonard Peikoff
(February 13, 2002)
I myself, of course, will never offer further papers, whether Ayn Rand's or my own, to the Library of Congress – partly out of an abiding sense of personal loss, and partly out of plain fear of the next penalty that might be visited on me in payment for any such bequest.

End States Who Sponsor Terrorism
Published as a full-page advertisement in the New York Times on October 2, 2001.

What to Do about Terrorism 
America's response to the recent spate of international terrorist attacks has been to tighten our security— better luggage screening and passport checks. But can such defensive measures actually protect us? Is this the way to combat terrorism?

Israel's—and America's— Fundamental Choice 
The only practical policy in the Middle East rests upon the very opposite of moderation: the courage to act on moral principles.

Abortion Rights are Pro-life
Abortion rights advocates should not cede the terms "pro-life" and "right to life" to the anti-abortionists.

Why Christmas Should Be More Commercial
It is time to take the Christ out of Christmas.

Fanning the Flames of Terrorism
Clinton's "anti-terrorist policy" should target governments, not individuals.

Iraq: The Wrong War
President Clinton's air strike against Iraq is more than geographically misguided. Clinton is fighting the wrong country for the wrong reasons.
