| Political issues come to the fore. Truth Seeker favors a government that is far more limited than the one we have. Several articles address this, including one about a man who beat the IRS. An article by Lavanam of the Atheist Centre in India emphasizes our common humanity. In the freethought area, Billy Graham and Robert Burns are both criticized, and Wittgenstein is reviewed; a genetic origin of religion is suggested; we learn that testimony is not evidence, dogmatism can be found anywhere, mind control is active in many places; and more. There are six book reviews, mostly freethought. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| This issue tackles health and medicine, portraying the Food & Drug Administration as attack dog; the resistance of physicians to natural healing. The lead article by Jarrett Wollstein takes a pessimistic view of government regulation and health care, the Clinton plan in particular. Two book reviews dealing with patients and self-healing. Thrawn Rickle tackles the orthodox link of HIV with AIDS, giving us Dr. Peter Duesberg's dissenting views. Jim Kraft-Lorenz and Bill Edelen take a look at killing in the name of "religious love." A course in Atheism 101 by Bill Lindley. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| In this issue the focus on politics is more miscellaneous. There are three articles on the Clipper Chip; three articles on South Africa; an article on the resistance in Chiapas, Mexico; an article contrasting the U. S. Constitution with raw democracy; a critical review of a book by Lani Guinier; the infamy of April 19; and more. In the freethought section, the thinking column praises disagreement; Bill Edelen shows how politicians distort religious liberty to gain votes; Robert Williscroft finds similar distortions in environmentalism; Bill Lindley reviews the book President Clinton liked; and we have a new column, the Catholic Corner. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| This issue is dedicated to Voltaire, whose 300th birthday was November 21, 1994, shortly after the issue came out. General reviews of his life and works are given by Marshall Gauvin, William Edelen, Robert Ingersoll, Bolder Landry, and Alvin Bernstein. Ross Mullin reports that Voltaire was censored in *1994*. Bill Lindley takes note of Theodore Besterman, Voltaire's biographer, bibliographer, and enthusiast. Lindley also critically examines Voltaire's deism through Voltaire's writings and Besterman's remarks; Thomas Paine offers less-than-friendly comment on Voltaire; and there are two articles on Voltaire, women and the arts. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

 |

| The primary subject for this issue is death, and particularly euthanasia. Before this subject is tackled, there is a brief section on government and a section on freethought. Two articles discuss questionable departures from constitutional government, and a third congratulates Argentina for its increased freedom. Four of the five freethought articles concern government and religion; the fifth is the column on thinking. Catholic Corner offers a little less-than-noble Church history. The first two articles on death deal with capital punishment; the rest treat euthanasia from many angles. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
