About the Author:

No biog

From Library Journal:

The articles, essays, editorials, poems, and illustrations that form this commemorative anthology are, in the words of editor Vanden Heuvel, "representative of The Nation spirit--its passion, commitment, idealism, and skepticism." The collection includes more than 150 items, beginning with the publisher's original prospectus in 1865 and ending with a short piece by Richard Barnet on the U.S. invasion of Panama. The range of talent represented here is nothing short of astounding: Henry James, Robert Benchley, Sinclair Lewis, Willa Cather, H.L. Mencken, Langston Hughes, Bertrand Russell, Dalton Trumbo, Ralph Nader, and Hunter S. Thompson. Strongly recommended for general collections.
