THE GADFLY EDITORIALS
Most of these brief pieces were written
specifically for the internet, appearing first either in The Online
Gadfly or The Crisis Papers. Some of this material has
been adapted and included in Conscience of a Progressive.
Accordingly, the first listing under these topics will be the relevant
chapters in the book.
All editorials
written specifically for the internet (published first by The Online
Gadfly or The Crisis Papers) will be identified by a header,
"The Gadfly Bytes" along with the date of publication.
This is a selection from over 250 internet essays. Excluded from this
collection are essays concerning events and issues that were
significant at the time of their posting, but are less so now.
Essays dealing with political issues are listed separately under
