COVER STORY: Will We Stop Saddam Hussein? -- J. B. Kelly points out that the Middle East will remain unstable until the West attacks the root of the problem: resistance to the rule of law. ... The President's announced goal is limited, and Eliot A. Cohen shows that it's not enough: Saddam Hussein will triumph in the end unless he is removed. Just ask Churchill. . . . Brian Crozier gives the lowdown on Hussein's bloody climb to power.

ARTICLES: On the Scene -- Ian Alexander's Bahraini contacts, remembering Hussein's early threats to march along the Gulf's Arab coast, presume Kuwait's leaders forgot.... The only thing saving us from a Republican tax increase, notes William McGurn, is Saddam Hussein.... Paul Belien reports on the European Community's latest clever move: picking a socialist to lead Eastern Europe away from socialism. . . . Tim W. Ferguson sends less-than-heartening news about the GOP's gubernatorial prospects in California.

Conservatism for the People -- Why do liberals still dominate the policy agenda? Paul Weyrich suggests how to address Americans' concerns on poverty, our children's future, and the safety of our communities -- and win converts to conservatism as well.

Big Brother's Test Scores -- Robert G. Holland uncovers the latest wrinkle in covert racism.

Senate Intramurals -- Senate Republicans will soon follow the House in giving leadership reins to aggressive conservatives, predicts Jack Fowler.

Roseanne Bites Man -- Though there are more Alan Aldas than ever, Miss Barr is only the crest of the media manbashing wave, notes Jim Atkinson.

BOOKS, ARTS & MANNERS: Michael Coren presents Paul Veyne and Allen Lane's Bread and Circuses and Oliver Taplin's Greek Fire, two skillful classical histories, to disprove the academic Left's contention that "dead white males" constrict our understanding of ourselves. . . . James Shenfleld agrees that The Economic Consequences of Immigration are substantial, but looks askance at Julian L. Simon's belief that more immigrants mean better immigrants.... With Galileo's Children, an account of Andrei Sakharov's battle with the Soviet state, his conversion from Marxism, and his differences with Solzhenitsyn, George Bailey has given us fresh insight into the nature of genius, dissent, and the Russian soul. Russ Braley gives full approval.... Herb Greer finds Peter Sellars's version of The Magic Flute uncommunicative; perhaps it had something to do with the omission of the dialogue. . . . Spike Lee's Mo' Better Blues begins with a racist premise and declines thereafter, sighs John Simon. . . . Started any good conversations lately? Nika Hazelton and her Delectations contestants offer a few tips.
