By Nicholas Stix
From 1992-1998, I freelanced for Chronicles magazine, among many other publications—dailies, weeklies, monthlies, quarterlies, publishing my own occasional magazine (A Different Drummer)—
delivering papers at conferences (philosophy, aesthetics, politics, remedial ed), and teaching five-to-seven days week at colleges, and even in people’s living rooms.
Chronicles was the most brilliantly written representative of “paleo-conservatism,” a notion that seems to have been retired, in favor of the Dissident Right, in recent years. “Paleo-conservatism” was for a generation or so the main intellectual alternative on the Right to neo-conservatism.
In 1998, Chronicles Editor-in-Chief Thomas Fleming purged me, in what was apparently a proxy war, when Ted Pappas left after carrying Fleming for ten years. Unbeknownst to me, Ted had apparently been my “rabbi.”
Years ago, Chronicles set up a barebones archive, but one could only access back issues and articles through subscribing. A number of years later, Ron Unz graciously set up such an archive through his vast complex at Unz.com/Unz.org (Unz.org seems to have been swallowed up by Unz.com).
In the meantime, Chronicles vastly improved its archive, and by pooling its results with those of Unz.com, I was able to compile a comprehensive, linked listing.
