The April 2004 issue of The Heartlander announces Heartland's Twentieth Anniversary Benefit Dinner will be held in Chicago on Thursday, September 23, and offers updates on the activities of The New Coalition and current Heartland projects: three books, four newspapers, events, and more. Essays by Ted Sheely (on Mendocino County, California's recent biotech vote), John Skorburg (packer ownership of livestock), Conrad Meier (Vermont's health insurance meltdown), and Lee Walker (environmentalism and minorities) are featured in the Heartland Perspectives pullout section.

Heartland President Joseph L. Bast's opening essay describes "rational ignorance" among the general public -- and how Heartland works to address it.
