I'm seriously considering letting my subscription to "The Nation" lapse.

65. First, please convey my heartfelt thanks to Ms. vanden Heuvel for taking the time

from what I know must be an incredibly packed schedule to make a personal response.

Secondly, I do want to go on record as pointing out that I am NOT one of the posters who accuse her of simply carrying water for her husband. I have never thought nor said/written that. That they would have similar opinions is not surprising, like-minded people tend to pair up. My husband and I share many opinions as well. Not all, though, and I'm sure the same is true for vanden Heuvel and Cohen.

I very much appreciate that she says that she sees the Nation as presenting a varied range of opinions on the situation with Russia and other issues. It could be that "confirmation bias" has had me noticing the articles I disagree with more, and I promise to give more careful attention to this in future issues.

I never intended to cancel my subscription, merely to (possibly) let it lapse. Ms. vanden Huevel's gracious response goes a long way toward restoring faith and goodwill in the work that the Nation does.

Thanks DFW for doing this!!
