Known for its libertarian mix of investigative reporting, trend-setting essays, and caustic wit, Reason magazine has received kudos from both Rush Limbaugh and the president of the ACLU, Nadine Strossen. In this anthology of some of its best articles, hot-button topics such as biotechnology, the coming war on fatty foods, gay marriage, legalization of drugs, and the war on terrorism are addressed by contributors including maverick journalist Christopher Hitchens, Nobel Prize–winning economist Milton Friedman, and 20/20 coanchor John Stossel.
