N A RECENT INTERVIEW Bradley J. MacDonald engaged political theorist William E. Connolly in a retrospective of his work. It is an interesting conversation, both for what it says and for what it does not. Connolly K. Roberts Skerrett is associate professor of religious studies at Grinnell College, Grinnell, IA 50112-0806.
