Vindication
by L. Neil Smith
Readers of the earliest edition of The Probability
Broach, my first novel, are aware, from the author's biography, that
I departed Colorado State University in 1968, as a fifth year undergraduate
in psychology, with perhaps the lowest gradepoint average in the history
of... well, I just don't know. I have never been able to figure out whether
I wasted the opportunity of a college education or it wasted me.

The Bar Sinister
by A.X. Perez
One of the nice things about the 1911 Colt pistol is that
the "thumb safety" can be efficiently manipulated by the index finger of the
left hand. Most pistols using frame mounted safeties have this same quality
if the safety lever is of proper length. Even the flat little safety of the
Millennium Pro shares this quality. On the other hand slide mounted safeties
give me (and I assume other lefties) difficulties and thus require the mounting
of ambidextrous safeties (a safety on each side of the pistol) on pistols like
the Beretta 92.

Why I Am Not a Conservative
by Jim Davidson
I think libertarians must come out directly, staunchly,
entirely, and frequently against racism, sexism, gay bashing, immigrant bashing,
and all the other tawdry aspects of the so-called conservative movement. I think
we have to stand up and say that if you are a racist, you are not a libertarian,
if you are a sexist, you are not a libertarian, if you are against equal freedom
for gays, the transgendered, the polyamorous, you are not a libertarian, if you
discriminate against people because of their choice of religion, you are not a
libertarian, if you think people from other countries should be rejected because
of their choices in clothing, culture, religion, or behavior, you are not a libertarian.
