11.24.2001 12:11 AM Bastiat's brilliant idea about the seen and the unseen is well illustrated in Thomas Sowell's column on drug costs. "Drugs and Politics" Sean Hackbarth | 11.23.2001 11:44 PM French courts are just bizarre. They go after Yahoo for letting people sell Nazi trinkets online. Now, they award money to a man because he received psychological trauma from his mother.

Keep it up, buddy. Sean Hackbarth | 12:00 AM Waller Newell argues "that the birthplace of Osama's brand of terrorism was Paris 1968, when, amid the student riots and radical teach-ins, the influence of Sartre, Fanon, and the new postmodernist Marxist champions of the 'people's destiny' was at its peak." "Postmodern Jihad" Sean Hackbarth | 11.21.2001 11:11 PM NRO Weekend offers some of the best war movies of all time. Here are my picks:
