Paul, I would be interested in CD's with back issues of magazines that have articles with information that is likely to have continued relevancy and therefore have a higher intellectual content. For example, New Yorker, Atlantic, Economist, National Review, Nation and New Republic, etc. I have the Time Magazine Almanac and find their coverage so superficial that it is rarely useful as a serious source for what was occuring at the time. More interesting is reading Time magazine to analyze the mindset of a certain section of the country at certain times. For example their article on the Pill and the Sexual Revolution written in the Sixties make interesting reading with hindsight. You should probably ask some librarians which magazines get the mostuse in the reference sections. Regards, Tim
