Unfortunately, Harper's never puts its current issue on its website, but the headline on its cover story is "Barack Hoover Obama," the premise of which is that Obama is blowing an opportunity to make radical changes with the support of the majority of the population. I haven't read the article yet, just the sub-heading, so I don't know if the author thinks that this failure is due to negligence or deliberate deception. Anyway, it's a nice change from the "Obama will make everything better" complacency that I see from my good-hearted but politically naive friends.
Another story is about on-going torture of prisoners and the corporate efforts to defeat the Employee Free Choice Act.
There's always at least one extremely worthwhile main article, the squibs are often fascinating, and the Harper's Index always contains an eye-opening bit of data or two.
