    Whither Conservatism?

    As more Republicans defect from President Bush’s war policy, we’re joined by Weekly Standard editor William Kristol and Regent University's Robertson School of Government dean Charles Dunn to talk about about Iraq and the GOP and the future of conservatism in general after Bush and Cheney. Also, Newark is looking forward as the media looks back on the riots of ’67.

Newark: 1967 and Today

How the racial unrest in 1967 affects life in Newark now, with Clement Price, professor of political science at Rutgers University in Newark, and David Cruz, anchor reporter and host of Newark Today at WBGO.

Live Coverage

Live coverage of President Bush's press conference about the war in Iraq.

Whither Conservatism?

Where is conservatism heading after Bush and Cheney as more Republicans are breaking with President Bush over Iraq? We ask Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol and Charles W. Dunn, dean of Regent University's Robertson School of Government. Dunn edited and Kristol wrote the afterword for the new book The Future of Conservatism: Conflict and Consensus in the Post-Reagan Era (ISI Books, 2007).

The Future of Conservatism is available for purchase at Amazon.com.
