I’m, of course, behind the times. The magazine In These Times that is.

I tripped over this magazine during a Web search. It bills itself as a magazine that “explores topics from a progressive perspective for a readership committed to the advancement of civil rights and responsible social policy.” It’s based in Chicago, and has apparently been around for 27 years (presumably not all of those on the Web).

Check it out, particularly this article by contributor Kurt Vonnegut. Also, their cover story for the current issue is an interesting piece on sickness in soldiers serving in Iraq caused by depleted uranium artillery shells.
