  : The home-page for a monthly news-magazine of contemporary world affairs.  You need a paid subscription not only to receive the paper issues but also to access the electronic archives.  I subscribe to this periodical and would consider it a moderately-priced and extremely-informative resource for the serious student of international affairs.  Two excellent newsmagazines are The Economist ( )and Guardian Weekly (   ) .  Both, however, cost approximately $150CAN per year.  You may be able to order The Economist at a substantial discount HERE.
