Cover Story - Features
Back to the Future
John B. Judis and Ruy Teixeira
From our July/August print issue: The end of a fleeting Republican revival, and the re-emergence of the emerging Democratic majority.
Features
A Globalism for our Time
Nicolaus Mills
Sixty years ago, George Marshall unveiled his plan for rebuilding Europe and redefining America's role in the world. It was on-target then, and his vision for America's role is even more on-target today.
Conservatism Itself
Robert Borosage
Bush didn't fail because he betrayed conservatism. He failed because his administration was the most conservative of modern times.
Democrats Are Back -- But...
Stanley B. Greenberg
There's a catch: The Republicans have so discredited government that Democrats will encounter trouble backing the programs that they, and a conflicted public, know the nation needs.
Downtown, Not Just for Yuppies
Tara McKelvey
In Denver, thanks to low-income and environmental justice activists, a new mega-project will include affordable housing and good jobs.
Inner-City Futurism
Ezra Klein
A new kind of high school in Chicago's inner city will train its students for high-tech, high-pay manufacturing.
My Marty Peretz Problem -- And Ours
Eric Alterman
From our July/August print issue: 33 years after he bought the influential liberal weekly, it is no longer as influential, or liberal, or even weekly.
Shuttering the Sites
Noy Thrupkaew
Like its Chinese counterpart, the new military government of Thailand promotes more investment -- and radically less free speech.
Two Paths for the Planet
Ross Gelbspan
Will we rewire the world with clean energy -- or descend into political chaos, social disruption, and climate hell? And will Washington get with the program?
What Hedge Funds Risk
Barbara T. Dreyfuss
Increasingly, everyone's money -- that's what. Nobody rides herd on these unregulated investment funds, which now manage a tidy $1.5 trillion.

Columns
Beyond Regret
Sarah Blustain
Simple facts have not proven a useful tool in the fight to uphold abortion rights. Pro-choicers need to craft an emotional counter-narrative that rings true for -- and about -- women.
Forget Those Treaties!
Thomas Geoghegan
It's time to do away with treaties and start passing laws to bring America back in step with the rest of the world.
The Thirty-Year Itch
Mark Schmitt
Perhaps the Bush era was just the decadent late phase of the dying culture of post-1978 conservatism. Now we need a liberal agenda that's ambitious and confident enough to take over the next 30 years.
Why Immigration Reform Matters
Paul Starr
From our July/August print issue: If there is a deal to be had on immigration in this Congress, liberals and progressives should be part of it.
Culture & Books
Beyond Fear
Garance Franke-Ruta
The NBC hit Heroes is the anti- 24. Its emergency-powers president is the villian -- and viewers love it.
How Rights Became Human
Tara McKelvey
Was it the Enlightenment's emphasis on empathy -- as expressed, above all, in that new literary form, the novel -- that led to human rights?
Reading Liberally
The Editors
Forthcoming and recently published books from The American Prospect staff.
Why We Are Vulnerable
Kathleen Tierney
The dirty little truth is that American business doesn't want to pay for disaster preparedness -- and so, we don't have very much of it.
Departments
Correspondence
The Editors
Letter from the Executive Editor, readers' letters, and corrections.
UpFront
The Editors
