"Your magazine helps set the record straight. You've got a heritage of doing that, of defending Southern patriots like [Robert E.] Lee, [Stonewall] Jackson and [Jefferson] Davis. Traditionalists must do more. I've got to do more.

(Missouri Senator John Ashcroft, interview in Southern Partisan magazine, October 1998.)
