Skinner, and appears only glancingly in the historical record, named in a list of documents by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and in a handful of places in the radical press. It is mentioned in a letter to the editors of the \u003cem\u003eNation\u003c\/em\u003e in 1991, presumably a missive written by Skinner himself. The first two issues include sign-up forms on the backs, with Skinner requesting the equivalent of four postage stamps. The third number is described as 'free' and does not include a form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e3 loose leaves of white paper, text printed in black on both sides, fine condition.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"SKINNER, Lawrence W.
