In the early eighties I subbed it for at least a year and it seemed to me that it was convulsed by some literary or philosophical controversy that drew in the likes of John Gardner. I believe it was around the time of "Panic Among The Philistine" http://www.harpers.org/archive/1981/09/0024638 What it was all about I cannot remember as I was stupider then than I am now and because I can't access it from the archives of that great magazine. In fact, it might have been that article that made me sub to it, but I don't really remember. Also, I was first attracted to the SLP from a tiny ad at the back of Harper's that read "What Is Socialism?" The crosswords and anagrams, although full of interesting clues are Chinese to me. Pity, no? Anyway, I sure hope they get past their present difficulties if for no other reason that I love to read Scott Horton's essays. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/-Marxism--Subscribing-to-Harper%27s-and-the-Nation-tp27910037p27912838.html Sent from the Marxism mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
