The Nation has just published its WTO special issue, now available 
at http://thenation.com. The issue looks to Seattle with John Nichols' 
survey of activist plans (from the AFL-CIO's march through 
downtown to a caravan of costumed turtles), Robert Weissman's 
tale of how the business community is getting ready for Seattle (no 
turtle costumes here but lots of money and access), Robert 
Borosage's dose of historical perspective, Cong. Dennis Kucinich's 
look at how the WTO handcuffs government from protecting 
consumers and establishing environmental standards, Sarah 
Anderson and John Cavanagh's debunking of ten myths regarding 
globalization and Doug Henwood's forum exploring the range of 
progressive thought regarding the WTO and globalization.  

The Nation will be in Seattle distributing this issue and participating 
in numerous other activities during the WTO week. We're co-
sponsoring a debate on globalization at 7:30 on Tuesday, November 
30 at Town Hall in Seattle. Ralph Nader, John Cavanagh and 
Vandana Shiva will face off against Jagdish Bhagwati, a prominent 
political scientist, Scott Allen, an executive at Procter & Gamble and 
David Aaron, an official in the Commerce Department. This will be at 
Town Hall in Seattle at 1119 8th Avenue. For tickets and information 
call 415-771-8094 or go to http://www.ifg.org.  

RadioNation will be broadcasting the debate along with a series of 
daily radio shows which we'll broadcast nationally over the NPR 
satellite. We're furiously trying to convince public radio stations to 
carry this programming so if you happen to work at a station or have 
any contacts at one, pls. pass this information on to the appropriate 
people.  

We're also going to be involved in many of the other events and 
marches at the summit. We'll be distributing our special WTO issue, 
passing out information on our website and radio show, offering 
discount subscriptions and recording interesting events and 
happenings.  

If you'll be in Seattle, please come visit us at the United Methodist 
Church. The Church will be the main arena for anti-WTO activities 
and the Nation will have a table there pretty much continuously 
during the week of November 29. But, whether you'll be there or not, 
please check out what's at http://www.thenation.com when you have 
a chance. And, if you find a particular article particularly interesting, 
please use our Email-To-A-Friend feature to send it along to 
someone else who also might appreciate it.  

Best regards, 

Peter Rothberg, Associate Publisher
