Since the election a mystery person in my clinic is leaving "The Nation" magazines around.

I discovered a least half a dozen "Nations" in the waiting room and about the same number in the waiting areas of the hospital we connect to. Naturally the addresses are cut off of the cover. There are so many people in and out of the clinic it could be anyone. I guess it could even be a patient, except the editions seem to be chronically replaced, so I suspect an employee with a subscription. The dates actually start a few weeks pre-election. They sit on the end tables juxtaposed with the "People", "Oprah", and "Entertainment" rags.


P.S. How do I italicize in a post? I tried highlighting and using the "i" command and it doesn't work.

It won't work in the title line, though.

Anyway, you type a line of text in the body (down here.)

You can do one of two things. You can highlight the text and then click on the i in the boxes just above. This will italicize the whole line.

Or you can put your cursor at the head of the line and then click on the i, and it will show the letter i inside two brackets. [ ] That will start the process.

After you click, then this is what shows in the little box: /i. You click on that and it will end the process.

Hope this helps!

I tried highlighting and clicking the "i" but I think I did it in the title line. I'll work on it.

In retrospect I dont think it accomplished much, but it pleased my aesthetic sense.

Otherwise we're liable to be stuck in some sort of revolving door situation.

He works for a large airline carrier and many of his union members voted for orange hitler. He used to leave The Week magazine but we stopped subscribing when it got right wingy in its reporting.
