BIOGRAPHY
Eric, founding publisher of Utne magazine (previously Utne Reader), has spent his career as a journalist, writer, editor, and publisher. Before founding Utne magazine in 1984, Eric wrote, edited and sold advertising for the East West Journal, (later renamed Natural Health). In 1974 he was founding publisher and editor of the New Age Journal, (later renamed Body & Soul and recently acquired by Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia).

What got me up this morning was this song which I learned from Barbara McAfee:
"When you were born you cried, and the world rejoiced,
Live your life so that when you die,
the world cries and you rejoice."
