Mother Earth News sounds very liberal from its title!
Well, that was over 30 yrs. ago back when we were not at all political enough for warning bells to go off or red flags to be raised about things. (That came right after I voted for Jimmy Carter the first and only time and got my wake up call.) Actually, M.E.N. at that time was not quite the glossy thing it is now. There were practical articles on how to really do real stuff. Now I don't know how it is. New people bought it out I think, and I really haven't bought one of them in years.
