It was an impressive event -- though maybe delivered to an audience that already believed -- and typical of a lot of good things the LRC does.
In its twentieth year the magazine has become a notable success... except in circulation, apparently. If you think good magazines are a good thing, don't just browse the website. Subscribe.
