Ms. magazine has restarted publication in a bi-monthly
advertisement-free format.  I've received the first issue,
and can report that it is a breath of freash air compared
to the later years of the advertisement-supported version.

The last few years of the commercial Ms. contained a higher
and higher ratio of fluff to content, becoming yet another
woman's magazine with an occasional feminist slant.
If that bothered you, you'll like the new Ms.  (The "No Comment"
section of the first issue contains some of the trade magazine ads
run by Ms. to try and attract advertisers: you've got to see
them to believe them.)

The new version is hefty (~100 pages), and the first issue has quite
a who's who list of contributors (Toni Morrison, Alice Walker,
Gloria Steinem, Bella Abzug, Robin Morgan, Adrienne Rich, to name a few).
The magazine has much stronger international coverage than it did. 

I don't believe Ms. is available on newstands.  If you're interested
in a subscription, the address is:

		Ms Magazine
		P. O. Box 57132
		Boulder, CO   80322-7132

The rate is $40/year for six (large) issues.

(Usual disclaimer: No, I don't work for Ms. and have no monetary interest
in getting them subscribers!)
