Columns

Written these over many years, some for Cosmik Debris, a 'zine to which I was an occasional contributor in the late Nineties, monthly commentary on politics, the Clinton era and its discontents. Some others have appeared in New Partisan, and some most recently in the New York Press. They chronicle the run-up to the George W. Bush, and the events of 9-11. These days I'm writing for New Partisan, a journal of politics, culture and the arts where I've been given latitude to cut a little looser and get outside myself to comment on current current events so that I can take a break from working on my various longer projects. All writer's should have this discipline, it hones your craft ---did I say that? When I started out I used to write a weekly column for New York's East Village Other back in the Sixties: good work, bad pay but great perks. Sometimes you get off a good one, sometimes not. These are some good ones.
