Does anyone—anybody? somebody?—have back issues of This World ?
You remember This World : It was the journal from which Richard John Neuhaus was fired, in the infamous Rockford Raid —which led him to found First Things in 1990.
We seem to be missing two copies, here in our office library: Issue 13, which is Winter 1985/1986, and Issue 21, which is Spring 1988.
Does anybody still have these issues? And willing to sell or donate them to us?
