    The Banality of Fake Profundity

    Perhaps it's now safe for artists to consider what 9/11 has done to us. But one exasperating attempt, on display at the Hammer Museum, fails because it dramatizes something contrary to experience.

  • About Us

  • We speak for free markets and free people, the principles, if you will, marked in the watershed year of 1776 by Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence and Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations." So over the past century and into the next, the Journal stands for free trade and sound money; against confiscatory taxation and the ukases of kings and other collectivists; and for individual autonomy against dictators, bullies and even the tempers of momentary majorities.
