Minor correction: I'm a contributing editor, which means next to nothing, and it's been for closer to 20 years than 10. Victor Navasky used to ask me to write all kinds of thing for the mag, including unsigned editorials. Not the present editor. Victor used to publish all kinds of radicals along with liberals - he gave Alex Cockburn a column as soon as the Village Voice fired him. Katrina's done nothing but cut him back. Etc.
