Biographical profile of Ed Crane, including his views on the current U.S. presidential candidates
"Ed Crane doesn't really like politicians, nor, for that matter, people who do. So it's not surprising that the president of the libertarian Cato Institute is brimming with caustic opinions about the presidential race. ... his No. 1 issue, he said, is making sure America develops 'humility' in foreign affairs and stops thinking it can just barge in and 'spread democracy.'"
