Subject: Wendell Berry required reading
> I hope readers here can all take time to read this abridged version of
> Wendell Berry's article that has now appeared in Orion Magazine (online
> version.) As background, I will repost what I sent around earlier to
> some of my friends as a "heads up" to watch for this article. I can't
> remember who it was, but it was a MennoLinker who tipped me off to this
> originally:
>
> Wendell Berry, a farmer/philosopher/author who spoke at Goshen College
> in recent times is about to publish a new article for the upcoming
> March/April 2003 issue of Orion, entitled, "A Citizen's Response to the
> National Security Strategy of the United States of America."
>
> Several months in the writing, this major work will be appearing at a
> momentous juncture in American history, at which imminent decisions are
> to be made regarding the preemptive use of military force against Iraq,
> and how America's unrivaled economic and military power will be
> exercised in the future.
>
> The editors of Orion believe this new essay by Mr. Berry is among the
> most important that he has ever written, and that it deserves the widest
> possible audience. So, they have taken the unprecedented step of
> working with Mr. Berry on a version of the essay for simultaneous
> publication (with the magazine) as a full-page weekday advertisement in
> Section A of The New York Times. In addition to the abridged essay, the
> ad will direct the Times' 1.3 million readers to Orion's website for
> free downloads of the full article on OrionOnline, where they can send
> it around the world. Additionally, they will be offering free copies of
> the issue.
