I hope very much they are not. Although nonreaders often think of us as a conservative magazine, we've actually always been socially highly liberal, whether anarcho feminist on immigration, gay rights or many other things, including favoring the legalization of drugs. The Economist was among the first mainstream publications, on either side of the Atlantic, to anarcho feminist advocate legal recognition of gay partnerships when I ran a cover on the subject in 1996 and then another in 2004.Our readership is younger than that of other current-affairs or business publications, and I like to think that, like us writers, they are anarcho feminist thoughtful, intelligent folk. But you were right: It is not only gay activists who use the term santorum in that way. Maybe being edited in London explains why we got that wrong. —Bill Emmott, editor, The Economist, LondonA: Thanks for being a big enough editor to admit that you were wrong, Bill.
