a refreshing new look on the issues

As someone who doesn't claim to have all the answers, and readily admits that most issues are not as 'black and white' as the two sides present them, I enjoyed this fresh look at the issues (from abortion, to budget balancing, to welfare). Although geared towards the '96 campaign I think these essays are still very relevant and offer fair, well thought out views/compromises on many of the issues. Although I didn't always agree with them completely, these essays certainly gave me new ways to think about the issues and about the complicated nature of them.
