Having been rebuked for my Wanniski obsession, I'll just point out that the Polyconomics site <http://www.polyconomics.com/> has a long interview with Louis Farrakhan. Here's Jude's headnote:

>Interview with Farrakhan Part III
>
>Memo To: Sen. Joseph Lieberman
>From: Jude Wanniski
>Re: Interview concluded

>[This is the quite lengthy conclusion to the March 1998 interview of
>Min. Farrakhan by Jeffrey Goldberg, a free-lance journalist whose
>work has appeared regularly in the Jewish weekly Forward and the
>Sunday NYTimes Magazine. It is, I think, the best exchange/dialog
>between Min. Farrakhan and a Jewish intellectual that I've seen. As
>I came to believe in my discussions with Min. Farrakhan, he may be
>the key to peace in the Middle East, if he could ever persuade the
>American Jewish political community to dialog with him over their
>differences in perspective. I timed the transcription of that
>interview -- never before published -- to coincide with today's
>"Million Family March" in Washington, D.C., on the fifth anniversary
>of the Million Man March of 1995. The other coincidence is the
>summit in Egypt, where political leaders attempt to work out at
>least a ceasefire in the outbreak of war between Israel and its
>neighbors.]
