Blueprint: Ideas for a New Century (Full Text)
http://www.ndol.org/ndol_ka.cfm?kaid=132
A policy journal for the Information Age produced by the The Democratic Leadership Council. In the coming months, Blueprint will address the major challenges facing America as it enters the 21st century. Drawing from America's most cutting-edge thinkers, Blueprint will transcend the stale "left" versus "right" debate with a Third Way of innovative, groundbreaking policy ideas. Each issue of Blueprint will focus on one important policy issue, with the goal of spurring the type of meaningful debate sorely lacking today in Washington. The ideas in every issue of Blueprint will shape the political debate in the 2000 campaign and beyond. Featuring the work of some of America's most cutting-edge thinkers, Blueprint will tackle such topics as:

  • How do we help Americans win in a new economy where the rapid pace of change both creates enormous opportunity and breeds high anxiety?
  • How do we help Americans balance the constant pressures between work and family?
  • How do we reshape public education to make sure our children learn and can meet the needs of the Information Age?
  • How do we strengthen our democracy and renew our civic culture in a time of public disengagement from our political process?

    Boston Review : A Political and Literary Forum (Full Text)
    http://www.bostonreview.net/
    The Boston Review combines commitments to public reason and literary imagination. Putting politics and poetry on the same page, we anticipate a world that is at once more democratic and imaginative than our own; treating each as an autonomous value, we explode conventional stereotypes about politicos and aesthetes. We are a magazine of political, cultural, and literary ideas, and we take that designation seriously: Our intellectual range distinguishes us from any political journal or literary quarterly, while our seriousness of purpose sets us apart from other general interest magazines.

    DisInformation
    http://www.disinfo.com/
    The search service of choice for individuals looking for information on current affairs, politics, new science and the 'hidden information,' that seldom seems to slip through the cracks of the corporate owned media conglomerates. The goal is to get users to the information they seek, in the fastest, most efficient way possible. To that end, we're linking to a smaller, higher quality pool of websites, so someone looking for up-to-date 'alternative' news on the situation in Bosnia, for example, won't have to sift through endless webpages which say something like 'Hi, I'm Dave. I think it's terrible what's going on in Bosnia. Here's a picture of my dog.' Primarily the database draws from quality news sources such as Time Magazine's on-line component, Hot Wired, CNN, etc., 'liberal' newsources like The Nation, and Atlantic Monthly, alternative sites like Z-Net and Mother Jones' 'MoJo Wire, and other e-zines and websites we found interesting, provocative and essential. Major categories to choose from include: propaganada, revolutionaries, censorship, counterculture, counterintelligence, and newspapeak. There is also a search engine.

    Policy Review (Selected articles from current issue and archives)
    http://www.policyreview.org/
    The Journal of American Citizenship, the flagship magazine of the Heritage Foundation. It specializes in the study of private-sector and local-government alternatives to the bureaucratic, centralized welfare state. We are dedicated to rebuilding the institutions of American citizenship -- families, neighborhoods, religious institutions, public and private schools, voluntary civic institutions, businesses, and local governments. Policy Review also profiles great American citizens: Houston constable Victor Trevino is reducing crime with his "zebra squad" of volunteer cops; Sister Connie Driscoll is helping young urban mothers in Chicago; Rev. Frank Reid, of Baltimore's AME Church, is promoting black Christian manhood to the members of his community. We also study "what works": DeVry Institute of Technology sets the standard for career training; Rhode Island's privatized school lunch program tastes better and costs less; private security officers reduce crime around New York's Grand Central Station. We tackle tough subjects, and propose common-sense policy prescriptions, for issues such as crime, taxes, environment, education, religion and culture, adoption and foster care, and Social Security. We publish articles by influential people on the major issues of the day. Newt Gingrich, Phil Gramm, Dick Armey, Bill Bennett, Ralph Reed, Bill Kristol, Kate O'Beirne, Grover Norquist, and other key policy makers all contribute to Policy Review. In short, Policy Review provides practical, constructive thought -- the best of conservatism-in-action.
