PAST ISSUES
(note: all issues feature "much, much more,"
such as record reviews and regular columnists,
like Christopher Dean Heine on sports and
Brad Sonder with "inkings and musings")

WARNING: Beware of broken links. My programming may
be clumsy, but all pages (except one) are definitely online.
If in doubt, check out the link structure of any working page,
it's a very simple formula (example: blastitude.com/8/pg4.htm)
and once you learn it you can fix the broken URL yourself!
