Issue 1 is
approaching swiftly!

This means it is traveling
at a comparable pace to the train pictured above, but it is not being written or printed
on a train. You can expect it to be finished and emitting a certain degree of warmth
(print presses get hot) in August of 2005.
A few of the key
ingredients:
--Full color cover
--Bookmark insert
--Illustrations accompanying each piece
--Two pieces of fiction meant to dazzle and inspire
--Wondrous poetry that will massage your brain
--Essays that shatter the boundaries of criticism
--Glowing reviews of things we love
--Reviews of historical figures
--Letters to and from the future
--An interview with Michael Albert, political scientist and economist
--An interview with Jeffrey Brown, comic creator featured in McSweeney's and Time
magazine
We expect once you are done
reading Issue 1 you will begin to tingle and experience some degree of pain for a brief
period. Afterwards, you will look similar to the scholar pictured below:
