Since it was founded by Ralph Nader in 1980, the Multinational Monitor has been digging up the dirt on the world's corporate giants. The ad-free bimonthly features stories on business' relationship with labor, development, and the environment. The issue that arrived this week, November/December 2006, lists the 10 worst corporations of 2006, with retail behemoth Wal-Mart, pharmaceutical company Pfizer, and aircraft manufacturer Boeing all making the cut. Also in the issue, writer Charlie Cray lists the 10 worst war profiteers 'not named Halliburton' who have 'gotten fat feeding off the public trough.' -- Mary O'Regan

Culture, published twice yearly by the Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture (IASC) at the University of Virginia, used to be known as the INSight newsletter. According to editor and cofounder of the IASC Joseph E. Davis, both the magazine and the institute are undergoing some major changes. The spring issue excerpts a revamped vision statement explaining the institute's commitment to understanding cultural change and the concept of 'good.' The organization plans to welcome interdisciplinary conversations and receive insight from existing scholars and 'overlooked sources.' The new issue also features book reviews and an interview with director Paul Wagner in which he discusses his new film The God of a Second Chance, made with the help of the IASC, about the role of religion in a poor, primarily African American community in Washington, DC. -- Mary O'Regan
