Dedicated to "exploring the limits of free expression" Gauntlet has, with its semiannual issues, taken on such explosive topics as race, pornography, political correctness, and media manipulation—always publishing the widest possible range of opinions. Only in Gauntlet might one expect to encounter Phyllis Schafley and Annie Sprinkle, porn activists and collegiate reactionaries—often within pages of one another. The very best articles have been gathered by editor-in-chief Barry Hoffman, to make The Best of Gauntlet a most provocative exploration of the limits of American freedom.
