dave, re >stop the drift< opinionjournal.com A Toast to Liberty A free-market hero dies, but his ideas are more vibrant than ever. BY CLAUDIA ROSETT Tuesday, May 14, 2002 12:01 a.m. EDT WASHINGTON--Rarely does one get to a black-tie dinner more festive, inspiring and--yes--humorous than the libertarian Cato Institute's 25th anniversary gala, held here last Thursday. That might sound odd, because there was a sad note to the occasion, at which Cato inaugurated a major new award: the Milton Friedman Prize for Advancing Liberty. >later in the piece< At the dinner, Mr. Friedman cut to the chase: "I would not have thought it possible 25 years ago that Ed Crane could withstand the corrupting influence of Washington," he said. "We've moved from an era of galloping socialism to an era of creeping socialism," he continued, but what we now need is an era of "declining socialism."
