No, I stopped subscribing to NR years ago. After the Clinton win in '92, their incessant gloom-and-doomism became too depressing.

I didn't get into politics until 94, so I can't say. I like NR and it's now the only political magazine I subscribe to. It's worth it just for "The Week" (an oddly-named feature in a fortnightly-published magazine). There's always a little outrage and a little chuckle, often together. And sometimes there's a classic one liner, like "I don't know how CBS News told Connie Chung she was no longer co-anchor, but we hope they whispered it into her ear."

Sadly, misanthrope Florence King has just retired.

I just stopped at the Barnes & Noble down the street and picked up Podhoretz's book. It looks interesting.
