From Publishers Weekly
The Nation 's 125th anniversary was marked by this collection of diverse political viewpoints, in which Martin Luther King speaks out on civil rights, Katha Pollitt reacts to the "Baby M" surrogate mother case and Chaim Weizmann's plea for Zionism goes head-to-head with Edward Said's support of a Palestinian state. "An astonishing anthology, rich in ideas and provocations," said PW. Illustrated.

The articles, essays, editorials, poems, and illustrations that form this commemorative anthology are, in the words of editor Vanden Heuvel, "representative of The Nation spirit--its passion, commitment, idealism, and skepticism." The collection includes more than 150 items, beginning with the publisher's original prospectus in 1865 and ending with a short piece by Richard Barnet on the U.S. invasion of Panama. The range of talent represented here is nothing short of astounding: Henry James, Robert Benchley, Sinclair Lewis, Willa Cather, H.L. Mencken, Langston Hughes, Bertrand Russell, Dalton Trumbo, Ralph Nader, and Hunter S. Thompson. Strongly recommended for general collections.
