- Meet Colonel Ingersoll – A look at Robert Green Ingersoll, the nineteenth century’s “Great infidel”.
- Questions of How and Why – How is mystery perceived differently by us than by our ancestors?

- The Pursuit of Happiness - What is happiness? What have the world's great thinkers said about it?
- Toleration - Some claim that toleration isn't enough ad that acceptance should be the watchword. Still, aren't there instances where toleration represents the maximum and not the minimum?
