Staff Biographies
"Giving well is the best
revenge." |
George
Grosz (1893-1959):
The Faces of Greed
 A mostly
forgotten German artist 80 years ago took pen and paper onto the streets of Berlin and
sketched the truth behind the faces of greed. The shock is how familiar it all is to us
Late Capitalists. 27 drawings of George
Grosz.
Nfubi Kwaadutu, our correpondent in N'Djamena, checks in with yet another World Scoop
regarding the arrival in Chad of a certain nonagenerian US Senator. Chad Report No. 11.
Skiatatuk Speaks!
After a long absence, the world's only foul-mouthed spirit guide makes another appearance
with Communiqué No 18,372.
Asked whether Frank Harris ever told the
truth, Max Beerbohm replied, "Occasionally. When his invention flags."
A Glimpse of Futures Past
As further proof that the future's not always what it's cracked up to be, Rean Rhyne
shares a 30-year-old prediction of the kind of
airport we'd being using in, well, 2001.
The Physics
Question of the 21st Century
Jean-Marie Putnam Jonré:
Recent Work 1999-2001
Because of reader response to our exclusive showing of Ms. Jonré's remarkable paintings
in Magellan's Log 30, we've added a selection of her latest work (with
midi).
U Date 'Em
A quiz for the advertising- encumbered. From
the archives of 20th century print advertising, we selected 20 ads. Your job? Look at the
ad and decide in which decade it appeared.

Magellan's Log Books & CDs
"Giving well is the best
revenge."
Gifts for yourself, and for any of your friends who are still awake and
thinking. All drawn from the sometimes boistrous, sometimes beautiful pages of Magellan's
Log. Click here for more info about, among other things, the
funniest book of the 21st century (so far).
Caveat Cyberpunk!
 Joel Fluker experiences a momentary psychic breakthrough and catches
a clearsighted glimpse of the future. Not for
queasy stomachs or cyber-entranced mindlets. His dizzying speculations start with Sumer
and end up somewhere beyond Kuala Lumpur.
If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough.
--Mario Andretti.
Alphabet Soup: Drugs in America
 Here goes Magellan's Log into the treacherous fields of the so-called
war on drugs. Ceci Lumley reviews Rick Strassman's
startling new book, DMT: The Spirit Molecule. In the
process, she unburdens herself of certain opinions on the historical role of drugs in the
theory and practice of American civilization.
IRRATIONAL NON-EXUBERANCE
Doc Cuddy breaks his New Year's resolution (he promised himself he would think about Dubya
only in months with no "r") and vents
his despair, big-time.
THEM vs. US vs. HER
The "them" is the ones in power. The "us" is the ones not in power.
The "her" is Gaia. Bloce Kaibab takes on a
short guided tour of the hall of facing mirrors that is human hubris. All he can say
at the end is, "Mother knows best."
 Because this
issue pretty much turned out to be a visit to the Slough of Despond, we suspended all our
usual fun features. Don't worry. They'll be back next issue, when we're feeling chipperer.
