Clinton St. Quarterly Vol. 12 No. 1 Spring 1990

VITALITY CHUTZPAH»|VISION! CLINTON ST. has been an exciting voice in the Pacific Northwest since 1979. In our first 11 years we’ve accomplished a lot. Won dozens of awards. Introduced new writers and artists who’ve gone on to major careers. Taken on the vital issues of our place and time. Our stories have been reprinted by prestigious national magazines and presses. Two^ things have remained constant...our sense of humor, and our price—free! NO MORE. We’ve entered the ’90s. A decade promising unprecedented change and challenge. We’ll continue to offer laughter at human foibles wherever they be found. But free is clearly a thing of the past. For years, we’ve lacked a budget for in-depth reporting. And watched key stories go unreported by the mainstream press. WE’VE CREATED The FIRST Fund—The Foundation for Investigative Reporting and Social Technology—to make Clinton St. a powerful voice for people who care about our place and planet. We plan to turn over the stones. Go where others fear to tread. YOU HOLD a truly powerful issue, full of controversial, stimulating material: 2 seriously funny features, a suite of stories analyzing the media—how it works and is used—an urgent description of the drug running activities of the U.S. government, a visit with one of our region’s premiere artists, and much more. Most is original, even unprecedented. We pour our energies into making Clinton St. a powerful force for change in our time. Your support is critical to help us achieve and sustain true vitality.
