In quest of a just immigration policy.2. IS THE FUTURE ALL WHITE - Julian Samuel
"J'accuse? Damn right."

Robert J. Lewis critiques Matthew Barney's ANAL SADISTIC WARRIOR
Lewis takes fierce exception to the praise the NY Times and Harper's has lavished on the art of Matthew Barney. A no holds barred contrarian view.4. FITS: a short story by Mark Silverman
Eazy Riders -- Eazy Death. The heart of darkness is just around the bend, two traffic lights before the apocalypse.5. A review of David Solway's RANDOM WALKS - Carmine Starnino

The criticism that nothing is at stake in post-modern poetry, it lacks immediacy and urgency, is deftly put to rest. A poet who shoots from the hip.7. STIFLING LOVE: a tale by Maya Khankhoje
It wasn't a dream -- or was it? Beneath his body her skin felt slippery smooth -- and oh so cold.8. NOT FIT TO PRINT: FIGHTING THE LEBANON WAR - Jennifer Loewenstein
Is the Lebanese army, fighting for land unlawfully expropriated by Israel, the Mother of all Evil -- or a figment of the Western press?9. CULTISM: A SICKNESS OF BEING - Mark Krupa
About lost souls becoming Dead Souls. Are cults saving us from them? Why are they doing us this favor?10. Darren Aronofsky's PI: a movie review - John D. Devine
As Nabokov's Humbert was obsessed with solving the riddle of Lolita, Max must solve the riddle of pi -- cinema noir has never been darker.11. THE CULTURE OF NARCISSISM - Rana Bose
Malaise in the midst of plenitude, inter-connectedness in the house of solitude. Lost leaders among the 'garbage and the flowers.'
