1994 Utne Reader Magazine Alternative Press

No fake news here, just the facts about what was important in the 90's

When everyone battled the Walmart superstores, (but now embrace them), being black in America meant fighting for position amoung all many other races and cultures, and when Starbucks Coffee started a revolution.

Interesting:
[quote] because large numbers of people feel that the electoral political process does not promote and protect their interests, that forces other than ordinary voters are really in control," writes political activist and 1992 third-party presidential candidate Ron Daniels in Z Magazine (Sept. 1993). "Given the disproportionate influence of big money over the electoral political process, elections are a charade [that] masks the real power, privileges, and control of the corporate elite."

No not much has changed since 1994...

Hello there, thank you for stopping by to look at my items!. I have over the years accumulated a variety of personal collections that have been very carefully cared for and preserved.  (not obtained from yard sales or storage sales).   But, now forced to clean out the closets due to both a lack of space and mostly financial need, and I appreciate your purchasing, looking and sharing, and I hope you are pleased with your purchases.
************** 
 
 PAYMENT:
I use PayPal 
 
SHIPPING and Handling:
All items ship carefully packed from California USA 
We do not just stuff magazines in an envelope and throw in the mail. Each one is carefully secured in heavy cardboard and additional packing materials to make sure the item arrives to you without damage, which adds to the handling cost and shipping weight.
 
COMBINING MULTIPLE PURCHASES TO SAVE ON SHIPPING COSTS
E-Mail me a list of items you are interested in purchasing, along with your Zip Code or your Country and Postal Code and we will calculate the lowest possible shipping costs. Just make sure the shipping address for all orders are the same. 
 
I ship promptly, usually within 4 to 24 hours after payment clears. So if you change your mind, please let me know as soon as possible. Once it has been shipped, it is out of my control.

I do ship to international destinations, including UK, Canada, Netherlands, Australia, via US Postal International Mail. (Import fees, taxes and customs fees are not included in shipping cost quoted in listings, and may be payable on delivery)

 I am not a business, and returns are costly for me, so I do my best to describe items as accurately as possible, and note any flaws or damage, and Photos are of the actual item you will receive. In many cases I have been able to scan the item, and zoom in on flaws, for a more accurate close-up detail of the item's condition.
