 Unpleasant business - Richard John Neuhaus and Rockford Institute separate National Review - Find Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
THE Chicago Tribune and the New York Times (on page one) have published a story about the Rockford Institute (of Rockford, Illinois; John Howard, President), and the Center on Religion & Society (of New York City; Richard John Neuhaus, President), one part of which is indisputable.
Separatism is in the air this side of the Baltic states, and on May 3, Pastor Neuhaus had made an offer to Rockford suggesting that perhaps the time had come for a friendly divorce.
Perhaps the reason for it is that one can't easily explain the motive for moving into the offices of genteel folk and acting in that way.

As it moves away from these existing mainstream institutions, it is quite logical that it will find the experiences of the other organizations, marginalized and often vilified groups such as the Rockford Institute, John Birch Society, and even the IHR, to be of considerable value.

Like the Commonwealth Foundation, the Wisconsin Policy Research Institute conducts an annual survey of public attitudes, which is conducted using scientifically acceptable survey methods, as are other studies that have few public policy implications or ideological significance, such as a study of the Educational Performance of Hmong Students in Wisconsin (12/97).
For example, when the Institute conducted a study on the relationship between prison incarceration and crimes, it turned to George A. Mitchell, whom the Institute merely described as a "consultant." In fact, Mitchell is a neoconservative mover-and-shaker in Milwaukee who ran a management firm that helped build the Milwaukee County Jail (Business Journal: Milwaukee, 4/10/89).
When the Institute's report, Prison Works (8/95), was released, most newspapers failed to mention Mitchell's biases or his past financial interests in building jails.
