Two new books remind us what made William F. Buckley, Jr., so extraordinary, writes Daniel Oliver in the Spring 2008 issue of the Claremont Review of Books.Bennett on Catholic Schools
President Bush is set to convene a summit on inner-city children and faith-based schools this week. William J.

We may understand how Rev. Jeremiah Wright could so awfully misunderstand the American political tradition, inasmuch as it has been so very misunderstood for so long. But this misunderstanding is a cancer which can in the end prove fatal, not only to a political campaign but to our country, writes Harry V. Jaffa in this special preview of the Spring 2008 issue of the Claremont Review of Books.Rusher on Charlton Heston
Charlton Heston loved his family, his profession and his country. He is mourned by the many, many people who loved him. "It was from Chuck Heston that I learned the dimensions of a true 'celebrity.'" writes William Rusher, distinguished fellow of the Claremont Institute.Lincoln Fellow Michael Ramirez Wins Second Pulitzer
Investor's Business Daily political cartoonist and Senior Editor Michael Ramirez was yesterday awarded a Pulitzer Prize, his second and the newspaper's first. In awarding Ramirez, the Pulitzer panel lauded his "provocative cartoons that rely on originality, humor and detailed artistry." Michael Ramirez was a 2004 Lincoln Fellow of the Claremont Institute.Kesler on Limited Government
Charles R. Kesler argues that the obituaries for small-government conservatism have been premature, and lays out seven propositions related to the problem of limited government in our day.Wheeler on Heller and Gun Rights
Public health gun-control activists are getting palpitations over District of Columbia v. Heller, now before the U.S. Supreme Court, writes Dr. Timothy Wheeler, head of the Claremont Institute's Doctors for Responsible Gun Ownership. The only Second Amendment case to come before the court in nearly 70 years will soon settle the question of whether that amendment affirms an individual right to own guns.Charlton Heston, Rest in Peace
The Claremont Institute is saddened by the recent passing of Charlton Heston. Mr. Heston was a great Hollywood actor and friend of the Claremont Institute. In 2002, we produced an educational website for the PBS documentary "Rediscovering George Washington." As part of that project, Mr. Heston donated his time and voice to us by reading some of George Washington's most important and historic letters. These recordings are available online here.For more entries, visit our Writings Archive...
