Yes, its quite suprising. I'd always had an image of The Atlantic as
being very much like The New Yorker, down to the yuppie-leftist
politics. I was quite suprised when I saw an issue 2 years or so ago
with the headline "Quayle was Right on Family Values". Since then
I've read probably every other issue, and while it weill never be
confused with Reason or Liberty (two magazines I like a lot), it will
also not be confused with The New Yorker. The current issue has an
article by Peter Drucker on the kinds of activities the government
needs to get out of. Once again, the article is not 100% libertarian,
but it is among the more libertarian tracts I've seen in traditionally
non-libertarian magazines.
