Here is a magazine request, recently posted to Whole Earth Catalog readers.
Perhaps some of you have magazines you'd give these folks in Czechoslovakia:

we.170.103: Robert Horvitz (antenna)  Wed 15 Jul 92 20:08

 This evening I visited the office of a Czech magazine named
 VOKNO.  This is a really really really neat publication, sort of
 like Re:Search, or Semiotext(e), with excellent wild bold graphic
 style.  Contents is cultural.  Thumbing thru the current issue,
 there are articles on (I may be translating this first one wrong
 because of all the word-play) "chaotic democracy and menstrual art";
 the music of Skinny Puppy;  sculpture by Mike Kelley;  excerpts
 from "Last Exit to Brooklyn";  an interview with J. G, Ballard;
 an article on hippies in Poland;  Michael Fox on animal rights;
 interview with a "NY shaman" named  Michael Medicine Eagle;
 part 2 of an article on "pornographic fantasy" by Suzan Sontag;
 ...well you get the idea.

 Anyway, the editor, Blumfeld S.M., asked a favor:  they have no hard
 currency and feel out of touch with new and interesting things
 published in the US.  He asked if Whole Earth readers could mail
 him issues of mags and zines you have read, found worth reading,
 but not worth keeping - back issues of good periodicals, in
 other words.  They can't afford to subscribe, and don't even know
 what to subscribe to, so you could help on both scores.  The
 address:

 Blumfeld S.M.
 V O K N O
 Bolzanova 1
 110 00 Praha 1
 Czechoslovakia

 Hmmm, there's no phone or fax listed.  Will have to get that on
 my next visit to the office.

 So if you want to help a struggling and quite remarkable mag,
 here's a way to do it.  Thanks in advance on their behalf.

[ I've left distribution on this set to "world" -- rec.mag readers may
wish to restrict it to their own countries if quoting this long item for
other people who might send material to these folks. ]
