...country, it's good for the Nation." In a political age dominated by bloggers, conservatives and cable news, the Nation delivers a regular helping of unfashionably liberal journalism printed on gray butcher paper, lightened only by pencil drawings and the mordant poetry of Calvin Trillin. The formula is working: since the election of George W. Bush in 2000, its circulation has soared 96%, to 184,000; in 2004 the magazine enjoyed its best year ever, reversing years of losses to turn a profit of $251,000.

And finally, Jamee Gregory opens the door on some of New York City's most exquisite apartments, including that of avant-garde director...
There's a running gag in Floater, Calvin Trillin's 1980 comic novel about a newsmagazine that sounds a lot like TIME, in which the medicine writer comes down with the symptoms of whatever disease he's writing about that week. I was reminded of that hapless writer when I read about a new study out of University College London that found that people who use the Web to get information about their chronic diseases often wind up in worse shape than before they logged...
