No question about it-- no one matches the independence, character, clear thought, and integrity of Fred Woodworth, editor of the long-running journal The Match! Since 1969, Fred has assembled this zine with hand set type and without the aid of computer desktop publishing "to criticize authoritarian society and religion in order to argue for the many human advantages of freedom and rationality."

This issue contains the regular features-- "Who the Police Beat," "Freedom Eclipsed," "The World's Longest Letters Column"-- as well as new revelations to keep us thinking. Noteworthy is an essay challenging Michael Crichton's novel "State of Fear", which has gotten a free pass from mainstream media, presumably because Crichton is a doctor and this scares everyone. Other funny features include going to a bookstore that displays Harry Potter books as banned and the resulting discussion and arguments.
