Via MetaFilter, I see The Atlantic has opened up its archives:
Beginning today, TheAtlantic.com is dropping its subscriber registration requirement and making the site free to all visitors.
Now, in addition to such offerings as blogs, author dispatches, slideshows, interviews, and videos, readers can also browse issues going back to 1995, along with hundreds of articles dating as far back as 1857, the year The Atlantic was founded.
We're pleased to bring The Atlantic before a broader online audience. We hope that the quality of its writing, the trenchancy of its insights, and the depth and thoughtfulness of its reporting will inspire many of our online readers to join the Atlantic family by becoming print subscribers.
Yeah...let me know how that works out for you.
Some of the stories linked on MeFi's main article include Host, David Foster Wallace's look at right-wing radio; Eric Fast Food Nation Schlosser's The Prison-Industrial Complex. I also hunted up Robert Kaplan's The Coming Anarchy, a favorite of the aimless post-Cold War set during my days in grad school, and Mark Bowden's The Angriest Man in Television, about The Wire creator David Simon.
On APCB, a day without a Wire reference is like a day without bleak, urban sunshine.
