Alternative Press Review
Compiled by Jason McQuinn
As always, we're happy to exchange with other `alternative'
periodicals (of 8 pages or more - or 4 pages if tabloid size). I
try to list all the publications that we receive in a timely way,
but please be aware that there are times when this is impossible
due to time and space limitations. Also keep in mind that the An-
archy issue we send for exchanges will be the one your publication
is reviewed in, so please be patient. -Jason

off our backs article titled "So much slime, so little time," going
so far as to reprint the article complete with an abject confession

integrity shown here is neck deep, featuring Craft's implicit death
threat against NAMBLA members and her explicit and eager admission
of police collaboration in attempting to silence Uncommon Desires.
