...being forced out of office, lately replaced by the Starrometer) and the occasional scoop (Salon's report last week that a group with ties to the Rev. Jerry Falwell has paid $200,000 to people making allegations against Clinton--a charge Falwell's camp denies). But the barrage of 'zine commentary, columnizing and contrarian analyses of the latest media spins can be numbing, not to say superfluous. "We're not just a bunch of pundits shouting for attention," protests Kinsley. "We're trying to clear through and sort out the clutter." Or do they just add to it? Readers...

...which introduced the world to the fictional Bottlecap. The stories were sold through mail-order and at Tower Records stores and became somewhat popular. Bret Easton Ellis, the celebrated young author of Less Than Zero, stumbled onto Our Noise and brought Gomez to the attention of publishing companies. The 'zine was subsequently adapted into novel form and published in 1995.

That would have been something of a miracle, given that by Kinsley's estimate, only 50,000 to 90,000 people read his clever 'zine gratis. What if his readers fled?

...debut of SLATE, Microsoft's much awaited webzine, got plenty of attention from netizens last week, and not just for its catchy name. Seems the 'zine kicked some versions of Netscape Navigator, the Web's most popular browser, into an unrecoverable crash--and added grist to the Microsoft-wants-to-rule-the-world mill. Instead of seeing Slate's snappy commentary on politics and culture (excerpts of which also appear in TIME), Netscape 1.0 viewers were treated to a page of gibberish followed by a shutdown.
