Abstract

Entrepreneur of dissent, staff psychiatrist, soother of outraged subscribers, salesman for shoestring dreams, promoter of political happenings, beggar for good causes, mediator, manager, cheerleader, Organizer, con man Hamilton Fish 3d has, during his nine and a half years as publisher of the journal "The Nation," worn many hats, all of them jauntily. Now, after almost a decade of presiding over the business side of this operation, he has decided that at age 35 it is time to move on and explore the possibility of running for Congress. To publish a grubby, trouble making, muckraking, independent progressive journal in the U.S. in the 1980's is neither a glamorous occupation nor a conventional launch pad for political office.
