The American Canada Watch
The American Canada Watch (ISSN 1090-7076) was esteemed for its incisive commentary by a select circle of Canada watchers in this country and abroad, and was widely quoted in the mainstream media. Its Archives, covering the years 1995-1999, remain a valuable historical source on the tangled and subtle U.S.-Canada relationship during a period of radical challenge from the separatist movement in Quebec.

His review of American Theocracy: The Peril and Politics of Radical Religion, Oil, and Borrowed Money in the 21st Century, suggests a critical mind at work and play.
