Read All About It …
YOU MAY have been wondering what has been happening to your favourite mag: this issue is an economy size 36-pager and we’re late for the first time in five years. We have been undergoing a crisis, financial and otherwise, which led to proposals (now rejected) that we become a glossy science and technology magazine (with management hierarchy thrown in).
We rejected the offer because we feel there is a continuing need to cover the issues that Undercurrents has been covering, and to do so more thoroughly. We have decided, therefore, to relaunch as a monthly from the November issue (in fact ten times a year, with a break at Xmas and mid-summer}, This will enable us to have up-to-date News and Events pages among other advantages.
We hope to live up to the Big Red Diary comment that Undercurrents is “The central source of information on radical alternatives” by expanding the events and contacts section, and printing more articles on what is happening on the alternative scene abroad.
We will continue to bring you vital information on nuclear politics weapons, counterculture, the state, radical science, experiments in lifestyles and working, weirdness, sexual politics, humour, co-operatives and practical alternatives to the drift to either 1984 or destruction.
But to do this we need your help, editorial contributions, subscriptions and donations. (As little as one pound from each of our readers would put us on a firm footing for a long time to come.)
