They published two of my articles about my over the fence trips into Burma in 84,85 and 86 to report on the dozen or so hill tribes fighting a guerrilla war against Rangoon.

I photographed and wrote about the soldiers of the Karen, Karenni, Mon, Pao, Shan, Wa, Arakhan,Kachin and even a Muslim group all, fighting a guerrilla war of survival against the brutal Ne Win dictatorship in Rangoon.

It was a great adventure until I caught a drug resistant strain of Malaria and barely made it out of there alive.

My understanding was that they're not quitting publication but switching to an all-electronic format instead of a primarily hard-copy print magazine.

They've run a few of my photos over the years and published two of my letters, one calling them out on a very slight misstatement.

As much as I usually dislike editors in general, Foreign Affairs editor Jim Pate was always a class act, and treated me, my photos, and that which I'd written, very well.
