IN person Matt D'Elia is a considerate conversationalist, a generous listener who makes his points enthusiastically but leaves plenty of space for a reporter's responses and rebuttals. He is, in other words, nothing like the boorish, professed philosopher he portrays in the film ''American Animal,'' a dark chamber comedy he also wrote and directed. The movie, which opens on Friday in New York, is his debut feature. It focuses on a manic young man named Jimmy who faces a terminal disease not with the usual nobility of the cinematically ill, but with an overbearing devotion to raw hedonism and self-interest. ''Jimmy is pure id,'' Mr. D'Elia said recently. ''He's a dog with thumbs.'' [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

WHEN liberals are in a philosophical mood, they like to cast debates over the role of government not as a clash between the individual and the state, but as a conflict between the individual and the community. Liberals are for cooperation and joint effort; conservatives are for self-interest and selfishness. Liberals build the Hoover Dam and the interstate highways; conservatives sit home and dog-ear copies of ''The Fountainhead.'' Liberals know that it takes a village; conservatives pretend that all it takes is John Wayne. In this worldview, the government is just the natural expression of our national community, and the place where we all join hands to pursue the common good. Or to borrow a line attributed to Representative Barney Frank, ''Government is simply the name we give to the things we choose to do together.'' [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

OUR country has just gone through a sober national retrospective on the 9/11 attacks. Apart from the heartfelt honoring of those lost -- on that day and since -- what seemed most striking is our seeming passivity and indifference toward the well from which our enemies draw their political strength and financial power: the strategic importance of oil, which provides the wherewithal for a generational war against us, as we mutter diplomatic niceties. Oil's strategic importance stems from its virtual monopoly as a transportation fuel. Today, 97 percent of all air, sea and land transportation systems in the United States have only one option: petroleum-based products. For more than 35 years we have engaged in self-delusion, saying either that we have reserves here at home large enough to meet our needs, or that the OPEC cartel will keep prices affordable out of self-interest. Neither assumption has proved valid. While the Western Hemisphere's reserves are substantial and growing, they pale in the face of OPEC's, which are substantial enough to effectively determine global supply and thus the global price.

WHO was the greater economist -- Adam Smith or Charles Darwin? Since Darwin, the pioneering naturalist, never thought of himself as an economist, the question seems absurd. Yet his understanding of competition describes economic reality far more accurately than Smith's. Within the next century, I predict, Darwin will be seen by most economists as the intellectual founder of their discipline. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
