Subject: SPECIAL: Z Offer: SAMPLE ISSUE


Z magazine's self-descriptive paragraph is enclosed below, but in my
own words...

    Z is a really cool, monthly, advertising-free (!) political
    magazine, roughly 100 pages of wonderfully wholesomely radical
    articles, columns, book and movie reviews, cartoons, etc --
    in-depth and high in quality.

Regular Z writers include Stephen Shalom, Holy Sklar, Bell Hooks
("Sisters of the Yam"), Noam Chomsky (Foreign Policy), Brian Tokar
(Ecology) Edward Herman ("Double Speak") and many others among the
most articulate voices of the American left.

Z also has regular columns on culture, sports, movies, and so on, as
well as political cartoons by the Matt Wuerker, without hyperbole the
best political cartoonist I've seen (although there are others quite
good).

	"Now how much would you pay ?"  (-;

Z can't afford to send a free sample issue of such a 100-odd page
advertising free delicious magazine; but for a miserly $3 (that's
practically $2.99!) you can have a sample issue mailed to you.

    Right now Z is having a membership drive to help fund it's latest
    project: Z-radio, which will bring progressive programming to
    stations across the country.

    Z itself is a project of the NONPROFIT Institute for Social and
    Cultural Change, and other "projects," now thriving, include South
    End Press, the speaker's bureau Speak Out!, and the New Liberation
    News Service.

If you decide to subscribe, a year's sub. of 12 issues is only $25
($18 low income/student/unemployed). The address and phone number is
below...

Actually, they do run, for free, "adverts" on the back pages --
announcements of upcoming activist events/meetings/conferences/etc;
and they do occasional run duplications of advertisements; the
September issue, for example, reproduces a full page add in the
textile magazine "bobbin" advising investors how wonderful El Salvador
is, since you can "Hire [people like] Rosa [pictured at her sewing
machine] for only 57 cents an hour!"

Z is also now offering a special "500 Years of The New World Order"
1992 calendar illustrated by Matt Wuerker, which you should get
information about with your sample issue or subscription.

The cover photo of the calendar, with G. Bush, Kissinger, et al
landing, 1492, on the beach with a dollar-bill flag, over a banner of
"Five Centuries of Kicking Ass," and with Native American suspiciously
eyeing the leaflets the gang is distributing which hail "AMERICA
DISCOVERED!" (among other details Wuerker puts in) is alone worth
getting the September issue for.
