COVER STORY: They Had a Right to Sing the Blues -- The genius of American culture has long been popular music -- blues, ragtime, jazz. But can the nation take credit for the achievements of blacks or any other group, especially since the music starts losing its vitality as soon as it achieves commercial success? TOM BETHELL considers the relationship between suffering, local culture, the market, and creativity.

ARTICLES:
ON THE SCENE: With U.S. troops leaving, the Kurds expect another bloodbath. Donald Kirk reports from the occupied zone. . . . President Bush's choice of Robert Strauss as ambassador to the Kremlin has confused apparatchiks from Moscow to Washington, notes WILLIAM MCGURN.... Australia has finally abandoned protectionism, but Gerard Henderson points out that the man responsible for the change has just resigned.
THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME: From the collapse of Communism to the failure of the welfare state, conservatives have proved fine prophets. But what is next? We asked five conservative thinkers -- Irwin M. Stelzer, George Gilder, Norman Macrae, Jude Wanniski, and Charles Murray -- what will and should happen in the years to come.
ARMS NON-AGREEMENTS: What do you call it when the other side starts cheating the day after a treaty is signed? Arms control, sighs Frank J. Gaffney Jr.

Gotschall instructs Naomi Wolf on the difference between nature and nurture. . . . Ralph de Toledano muses on the words we share with Dr. Johnson.... Artistic excellence is the least concern of the Tony Awards, notes Eva Resnikova: with straight drama on its deathbed, life support is all Broadway can ask... .
