EXPLORE, ENJOY AND PROTECT THE PLANET
NOBODY OWNS THE NATION. Not GE (or Comcast). Not Disney. Not Murdoch or Time Warner. We are a wholly owned subsidiary of our own conscience. This independence is why great writers have always used The Nation as an Early Warning System—to expose before it’s too late the frauds, felonies and follies of the all-too-private enterprise we call Our Government. And it’s why week in, week out we’re read by an audience as illustrious as our authors. If you believe, as our readers do, that the highest form of patriotism is demanding to know exactly what Government’s doing in your name, why not sign on today at this very low rate? You can save a lot—not least of which could be your country.
THAT’S WHY SO MANY SOMEBODIES READ IT.
Walter Mosley is a longstanding Nation reader.

(Legally speaking, of course, everything has an owner, but as a Nation editor once wrote, “it is one of the superb facts about The Nation that you can no more ‘own’ it than you can own the spirit it represents.”)

IS YOUR FRUIT & NUT BAR
ORGANIC? I inherited my passion for organic farming from my parents, and today I’m happy to share that tradition with you. With just a handful of organic ingredients – crafted in small batches – Kit’s Organic™ fruit & nut bars are a delightful celebration of just how delicious simple can be.
