Re: Teixeira thesis

["Devine, James" <jdevine@xxxxxxx>]

The NATION is okay, or by another measure, much better than the vast majority of the US press that gets general circulation. (Gee it would be nice if pen-l-type ideas got so much hearing!)  It presents a variety of different view-points, some of which are wrong (in my estimation). Its factual articles are usually pretty good. Some of the columnists are pretty good, with the average quality rising because of Christopher H's departure. 
 
My impression, however, is that some of the attacks on the NATION aren't really on that rag itself as much as being indirect attacks on authors who publish there. (Author X must be a real sh*t to get published there!)

	I canceled at the time of the Pacifica crisis.  I guess I agree with what I read
	there much of the time, but I find the disagreements to be particularly painful.
