Magazine Me LI

In the Daily News today, Paul Colford reports that The Nation's circulation has grown 71% during the Bush presidency. Since the Iraq war began, about 24,000 people have subscribed. While it is largely believed that political magazines thrive when the opposition is in power, conservative mag the Weekly Standard rose 30%. Who knew? Initially, I wondered whether the circ. boom had anything to do with Christopher Hitchens' departure.
