******* Saturation coverage of the Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie romantic beach getaway didn't exactly ignite a newsstand stampede for celebrity magazines this week. While Us Weekly was up, two others in the field were flat, according to early sales estimates. The debate is supercharged because Us Weekly outbid the competition for candid shots of Brad, Angelina and her child seeming to enjoy a romantic weekend on a beach in Kenya. MORE ONLINE

In the 27 years that Victor Navasky has overseen the magazine The Nation--as its editor and then as its publisher--the scrappy journal of leftist thought has seen its circulation skyrocket to more than 184,000 from a modest 20,000. The liberal weekly has even started turning a profit during the past three years, something it has generally failed to do since its founding back in the days when Abraham Lincoln was president. Navasky has reeled in readers with The Nation's ongoing allegiance to what, in the current conservative climate, is seen as a far-left perspective. At a time when the American left is in search of motivational precepts, Navasky's new book, "A Matter of Opinion"--released this month by Farrar, Straus and Giroux--serves as a paean to journalism that refuses to soft-pedal its beliefs, regardless of where they fall on the political spectrum. He extols the virtues of journals on the left, like Mother Jones, but he also praises fellow journalists on the right, like National Review, for their determination to express a point of view.
