The New Federalist, P.O. Box 889, Leesburg VA 22075. $20/year (50 issues).

Edited by Nancy Spannaus and William Wertz, this weekly is a mixed bag. Each issue is about 12 well-produced newspaper-size pages, chock-full with topical stories and no advertising. But there's that inevitable LaRouchian spin, because the New Federalist is essentially an outlet for the staff at Executive Intelligence Review. EIR is the LaRouche organization's information elite -- as distinct from those who sell the newspaper in front of some post offices. If the major media started doing its job instead of parroting the established conventional wisdom, we wouldn't need the New Federalist at all.

What's required for each issue is a bit of triage. Some stories fill in missing pieces that our major media would prefer not to discuss. Other stories are less significant, but they either illustrate the LaRouche line or cover in-house events. The third type expands on LaRouchian philosophy, which is charitably described as "unique." One recent (1993-06-07) issue has an in-depth article on the Cult Awareness Network. Flip the page and there's a bizarre piece by Helga Zepp-LaRouche on "Nicolaus of Cusa and the Conceptual Basis for a Renaissance in Russia Today." Then back to earth on 1993-09-06 with an informative and important essay by Christopher White, "How to Bring the Cancerous Derivatives Markets Under Control." This one provides a "reality check" on what the financial elites have been doing over the last twenty years -- a sobering perspective that we haven't found anywhere else.
