Senator Hart will be attending the Denver Gary Hart Meetup this Thursday. If you're in Denver and at all interested in what the Senator has to say, stop by: Sweet Rockin' Coffee, 414 E. 20th Ave at 8pm (note that this is a change from the original planned Meetup at the Englewood Public Library.) Bring a friend!

Zakaria is a serious enough thinker and has produced a serious enough book to require serious attention. Either one-dimensional "democracy" or a more nuanced constitutional liberalism with institutional instruments underwriting individual liberty are the choices he offers for the 21st century. He sees no alternatives, though a lively debate stimulated by his book might produce some.

I happened to pick up this book last week and here comes a review of it by Senator Hart in Washington Monthly.
