Vol.23,#21/Sept.19’99 thru Vol.24,#6/Feb.21, 2000

is a professionally-produced, 30-page fortnightly “alternative newsmagazine” providing an ongoing left-liberal perspective on major national and international news stories in a uniquely timely manner—impossible for periodicals appearing less frequently. The Sept. 19th issue includes an excerpt from Noam Chomsky’s important new book, The New Military Humanism. The February 7th issue includes the latest update in Joel Bleifuss’ continuing coverage of Mad Cow disease titled “A 21st Century Plague,” arguing that there will be potentially millions of deaths from the new variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease that has been unleashed following the Mad Cow epidemic of the last twenty years in England.
