About the subscriptions: Some kind of combination of which I read oftenest and which I value most. I subscribed to Vanity Fair and The New Yorker when I found that I was wanting to outrun their monthly freebies pretty regularly. I prefer WaPo to the NYTimes. I send money to the Guardin every couple of articles or so, but haven't felt the need to subscribe as yet.
When I say that I'm not a bystander, I mean that I'm not some impartial embodiment of even-handedness, even though I don't think I'm grossly biased-- and I have political commitments and am involved, not standing back to judge loftily. So for an instance, I have strong opinions about what sorts of macroeconomic models and framings are effective in the world both in describing its cause-effect relationships well and in helping to generate policy prescriptions. I also have strong views about appropriate objectives for policies to achieve: for instance, I have no interest in the allocation of resources or remunerations on the basis of Recipient Worth, as I'm much more committed to resourcing activities I deem effective in working toward an equitable and sustainable nation and world. And these are things tht affect my reading.
