 Gas Attack - The Atlantic Monthly serves something more noxious than Bush's State of the Union. By Jack Shafer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
None of these palliatives apply to the Atlantic Monthly's "State of the Union" package, produced for the January-February issue "in partnership with the New America Foundation" for the second year in a row.
What irks is the package's deadly presentation, the conceit advanced by the editors and writers at the Atlantic and the New America Foundation that they alone have the intellectual courage to confront the country's problems.

 Bruce Brown reviews Opal Whiteley's "Journal of an Understanding Heart" (from Washington Post Book World)
By the time Atlantic editor Ellery Sedgwick became intrigued with the young freelancer who brought a pastoral history manuscript to him -- he called her "something very young and eager and fluttering, like a bird in a thicket" -- Opal was no longer conscious of much of her early history.
SEDGWICK did not buy the young writer's story, but when he learned of her shredded childhood diary, he took her into his home and supervised the reconstruction of the portion that is known to us today.
Published as a book by Atlantic Monthly Press in 1920 when Opal Whiteley was in her early twenties, The Journal of an Understanding Heart was greeted with great critical acclaim.

 Statement by the editors of The Atlantic Monthly   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
William Langewiesche's book American Ground is intended an inspiring work, one that captures a uniquely American way of tackling even the gravest challenges and memorializes the extraordinary achievement of three-dimensional human beings who labored at the World Trade Center site.
The World Trade Center site, as Langewiesche describes it, was a complex place where many things happened, people had widely varying experiences, and many interpretations were possible.
The specifics and details contained in American Ground were vigorously fact-checked, as all material contained within The Atlantic Monthly is. The fact checking took five months of full-time work, by a experienced team of two, who sought to trace every detail to its source.
