			http://www.salon1999.com/

             An online magazine of books, arts and ideas,
                  sponsored by Borders Books & Music.
 
      During our startup period, SALON will publish biweekly. But
    drop by for frequent updates and additions, particularly in our
     Newsreal and Hot Button departments. In January, SALON plans
    to begin publishing on a weekly basis, with daily supplements.
 
                   Come inside and join the party.
 
      And while you're inside, visit our Table Talk conversation
       area if you want to join a discussion with SALON writers,
        editors and other readers. Be sure to register first.
   You can also send Letters to the Editor for publication in SALON,
              or send Private Letters to the SALON staff.
