Don, Do you know Z Magazine? the Zmag.org web site? BOth are good, very activist/ organizing oriented and radical. Chomsky a regular contributor, just to keep us up on foreign policy & globalization fiascoes.... There are others with an economic-left tint: Multinational Monitor (which I think is Nader-generated) but good. Or isn't this the kind of thing you mean? There are more academic-y things like Radical History Review, Monthly Review, New Left Review.... More left-liberal mags like The Progressive, The Nation, In These Times.... More subject specialized things, etc. Let me know -not that I know them all!! Ted monkerud wrote: > Ted, > I should have been more general in my question.
