"A wonderful little one-shot: an essay by Jonathan Schell, an interview of Chomsky by Wallace Shawn, excerpts from Shawn's notebooks before the last election, a poem by Mark Strand, and a story, "Twilight of the Superheroes," by Deborah Eisenberg. The issue addresses 9/11, the War on Terror, the invasion and occupation of Iraq, the horrors of Abu Ghraib, and our joke of a democracy. Have a nice day."
