Media Life
"Reason, unlike most wonky journals of opinion, does not preach mainly to the converted. Its voice, always clear and unacademic, is distinguished by rigorous and exhaustive logical argument...It's a rare thing to have one's mind changed by a magazine (or by anything, as a matter of fact) but I find this often happens with Reason."
Media Week

Nadine Strossen, president, American Civil Liberties Union
