MIDDLEBURY, Vt. ? New England Review (NER), a national quarterly publication of Middlebury College, has published its latest issue (Vol. 28, No. 2), available in the Middlebury College Book Store and through the journal’s Web site. As part of the College’s commitment to conserving natural resources, the magazine is now published on 100 percent post consumer waste recycled paper.
