Our May/June issue is hot. Not Vanity Fair hot. Not Parameters hot. But hot nonetheless.

If you like the blog but aren’t familiar with the magazine, then I have a feeling you’re gonna love the May/June issue, which, depending on your local bookstore, is already or soon will be on sale.

Subscribers, I know you got it in the mail last week. Hope you like it as much as I do. 

The cover feature, as you can see, is “The First Law of Petropolitics” authored by Tom Friedman of NYT fame.

We also have for you our 2nd Annual Failed States Index. Nicholas Kristof already gave away a sneak peak at that.

 Have a great weekend.
