Reviews:
"The magazine has been edited with a rare combination of devotion and
intelligence and has been designed with equal imagination."
Time Out
"Ballard . . . is the most engaged of surrealists, engaged not directly
in politics, but with forcing his readers to see the strangeness of the
ordinary world."
