520			_aThe debate between liberals and conservatives is remarkable for the variety of its forms. Sometimes this debate seems to depend upon definitions of words, sometimes it sounds like a seminar in political philosophy, sometimes it even has a theo- logical tone; but always present is the practical political question, into whose hands shall political power be placed? This book differs from others on liberalism versus conservatism. The essays presented here are the work not only of liberal and conservative spokesmen, but also of spokesmen for a position neither liberal nor conservative, one which regards both as imperfect and which challenges the claims of both to be the authentic, true voice of the American political heritage. The essays were prepared for the Public Affairs Conference Center, Kenyon College. The Center periodically brings to- gether prominent persons from government, business, journalism and the academic world to discuss in depth important issues facing our society. Robert A. Goldwin, as Director of the Center and Editor of this series, seeks to present lively and informative discussions by selecting vigorous spokesmen of opposing points of view.
