AntiShyster is a bi-monthly 48 page magazine "dedicated to raising hell for lawyers." It presents a critical examination of the American legal system, both civil and criminal. Recent articles have included non-lawyers running for judicial offices, tax laws, listing of public corruption cases by the office holder convicted, the Bar Association's monopoly on law practice, and more. Coming from a conservative view it seeks to de-mystify the legal system and make it more accessible and understandable to non lawyer citizens. Subscriptions are $25.00 a year. Write: AntiShyster, P.O. Box 540786, Dallas, TX. 75354-0786.
Weekly News Update is the weekly newsletter of the Nicaragua Solidarity Network. Each issue comes filled with news and information not reported by the mainstream American media.

They are seeking to expand their circulation and will send a free sample on request. Subscriptions are a bargain at only $25.00 a year for 52 issues. Write: NSN, 339 Lafayette St. New York, NY. 10012. (212) 674-9499.
