THE AUTHORS ASSESS POTENTIAL CANDIDATES--JACK KEMP, GEORGE BUSH, GARY HART, JOE BIDEN, ROBERT DOLE, JEANE KIRKPATRICK, MARIO CUOMO, HOWARD BAKER, AND OTHERS--IN VIEW OF HOW EACH OF THEM WOULD CONTINUE OR ALTER THE POLICIES OF THE REAGAN ADMINISTRATION IN A SUBSEQUENT PRESIDENCY.

WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ WILL SURPRISE YOU. IT WILL MAKE YOU WISER. AND IN SOME PLACES IT WILL MAKE YOU MAD. POLICY REVIEW ASKED 13 LEADING CONSERVATIVES TO COMMENT ON SOME OF THE MOST EMOTIONAL SUBJECTS IN AMERICAN POLITICS AND SOCIETY TODAY. ABORTION. HOMOSEXUALITY. SCHOOL PRAYER. MOTHERHOOD. DIVORCE. CHILD ABUSE. WE ASKED FOR PRACTICAL ADVICE ABOUT HOW TO DEAL WITH DEFIANT TEENAGERS AND PREGNANT, UNMARRIED WOMEN. AND WE ASKED ABOUT THE PROPER ROLE OF GOVERNMENT IN REGULATING MORAL CONDUCT. THE PARTICIPANTS REFLECT THE DIVERSITY OF CONSERVATIVE THOUGHT-FROM NEOCONSERVATIVE TO NEW RIGHT, FROM TRADITIONALIST TO LIBERATRIAN. AND THEIR ANSWERS REVEAL ASTONISHING DIFFERENCES EVEN WITHIN THESE CATEGORIES, ON ISSUES SUCH AS ABORTION, HOMOSEXUALITY, AND WHETHER MOTHERS OF YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD WORK. THE ONLY QUESTION ON WHICH ALL PARTICIPANTS SEEM TO AGREE IS ON HOW TO INTERPRET THE ESTABLISHMENT CLAUSE OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT: JUST WHAT IT SAYS.
