Don, I'm not a regular reader of Lingua Franca, but I read it occasionally. It's not bad for staying a little critically current on some higher-ed politics, but I would say it veers in the postmodernist/ identity politics direction as opposed to the political economy direction of a "left" analysis, and it isn't consistently that, either. It is the publication that had the silly, I thought, article about "Who Owns the Sixties" by Rick Perlstein, that posited a "generational" conflict over the 'correct' interpretation of the 60s --something I don't think is generational at all, but rather ideological. This article didn't get that slant at all, really.
