From Times Staff and Wire Reports
The Nation, the country’s oldest weekly magazine, has been sold to a group of investors that includes actor Paul Newman, novelist E.L. Doctorow and the previous editor, Victor Navasky. The magazine will be overhauled, with more writers, an on-line computer service of political dialogue and possibly a new look, Navasky said. It has lost money most of the time since it began in 1865. The Nation, which has a circulation of about 95,000, is one of the few surviving bastions of left-wing magazine journalism in the country.
