Beats is your virtual clipping service, with comments and cumulative bibliographies on key "beats" related to domestic and foreign policy issues which have long concerned me. I am a lifelong newspaper clipping addict but now use the free Zotero bibliographical database manager. This is one way--in addition to consistent responsible social activism since 1967--in which I cope with the issues of the day. I may have to cut back on the number of "beats" I am covering, as it is getting in the way of completing my own op-eds and essays and unfinished publications in my profession of social work and discipline of sociology. Suggestions for readings welcome!
