Seven Days Magazine (1975-1980)
Seven Days magazine was a biweekly edited by David Dellinger that began
in 1975 with a series of ten preview issues. By mid-1977 its circulation was
30,000; half were direct subscribers and the other half were subscribers to
the defunct Ramparts whose subscriptions had not yet expired. The flavor of
Seven Days was similar to Ramparts in the few longer pieces that appeared,
but most of the articles were shorter -- essentially reviews of current
events that had been carried on international news services, but with
occasional background and tidbits that were generally overlooked elsewhere.
It was published by the Institute for New Communications in New York.
Dave Dellinger graduated from Yale and then did time for refusing to
register for the draft in World War II. He has been arrested numerous times
for pacifist demonstrations since then. Dellinger was a leading figure in
the movement against the war in Vietnam, and at age 54 was the oldest member
of the Chicago Eight, the group that was prosecuted for conspiring to get
clubbed by police at the Democratic convention in August 1968. His recent
autobiography is titled "From Yale to Jail: The Life Story of a Moral
Dissenter" (Pantheon, 1993).
