Cover design by Reuben Dalke Download Issue PDF By The American Prospect Staff Features All Eyes on Kennedy Helena Silverstein and Wayne Fishman There's a new swing vote on abortion. He'll probably protect Roe, but he won't protect much else. Body Politics The Editors O'Connor has left the Supreme Court, states are passing evermore restrictive laws, and center-left male pundits keep arguing that it'll all be better in the end if Roe disappears. We say otherwise. Hard Labor Harold Meyerson Change to Win leaders had big plans last year when they left the AFL-CIO to do more organizing. The resolve is there -- but so are all the usual impediments. In Defense of Roe Scott Lemieux From the archives: It is difficult to know when a contrarian idea has been repeated so much as to become the new conventional wisdom. However, it's not just "contrarian" for center-left pundits to claim Roe v. Wade doesn't matter. It's stupid. Is It Good for the Jews? Daniel Levy The recent controversy over the Israel lobby has focused on how it distorts U.S. foreign policy. Forgotten is whether it helps Israel (and the peace process). Is the Common Good Good? William Galston, Jedediah Purdy, Ron Walters, Amy Sullivan and Fred Siegel Five responses to “Party in Search of a Notion,” Michael Tomasky's much-discussed essay on the future of the Democrats from our May issue. Men Overboard Scott Lemieux It's not just "contrarian" for center-left pundits to claim Roe doesn't matter. It's stupid. The Price Is Wrong Matthew Yglesias Depending on which administration official you, um, believed, the Iraq War was going to cost anywhere from $200 million to zero. But it's going to fly over $1 trillion. What the Left Didn't Do Allison Stevens Below the Supreme Court level, the right has spent years fighting the abortion wars law by law, state by state. Why haven't pro-choice activists done the same?	Columns Fairy-Tale Failure Esther Kaplan How Africa's one AIDS success story, Uganda, became a disaster when Christianity trumped science. It Takes a Movement Mark Schmitt Brian Schweitzer is the lone author of the "Montana Miracle," right? The real answer isn't so simple. The Tchotchkes of War Stephen Kinzer What's the Matter With Class? Robert Kuttner Democrats are not too obsessed with the working class. Most Americans are economically stressed. Culture & Books All the President's Pets Todd Gitlin If you still doubt that the media game is rigged after reading Eric Boehlert, then there's no evidence on the planet that would convince you that it is. But it is. Chicken Wing Ezra Klein The West Wing will live on, and on, in syndication and on disc. But its real-time demise thankfully brings an end to a potent liberal allegory. Oversexed Sarah Blustain Kristin Luker's useful history of sex education hits the right notes, until she tries too hard to please all sides. Why Don't They Like Us? Suzanne Nossel Two books, one on world public opinion and the other on elite views, conclude: They hate us. They really hate us.
