Lots of practical resources here, but it seems to cost too much for what most activists can probably afford. ($$Donation) University Sentinel vol.3,no.5 [PSU Publications Board (VG), PO Box 751, Portland, OR 97207] There are few good student newspapers and even fewer good "radical" student papers. The Sentinel, published by students at Portland State University, is an exception to the rule of mediocrity. The design and layout of this newspaper is so superior to the hackwork being done by typical student newspapers, it is obvious that these folks should be giving design lessons to student journalists at other universities. This issue includes articles on the Zapatista uprising in southern Mexico, media mergers, the practical uses of hemp, and an article on the anarchistic aspects of the Internet. In fact, this publication shows how familiar the staff is with anarchism. A Kropotkin quote! Includes a section that lists what happened on certain days in radical history (The Durutti Column). The cartoons by radical cartoonist Matt Wuerker are a nice touch. Weekly Weird News and Filth #11 [Filth / PO Box 426712, San Francisco, CA 94103 / malice@well.sf.ca.us] is a compendium of 79 conspiracy theories ranging from JFK to cocaine cowboys to UFOs to Andy Kaufman.
