       _Special  People  Magazine_  is   a   magazine   for   the
handicapped that is starting because of  a  perception  that  too
many magazines for the handicapped read like medical journals  or
service only a specific group of  handicapped  people.   _Special
People Magazine_ is meant to appeal to handicapped people of  all
descriptions (from amputees, to the blind, to diabetics);  and it
will focus on the stories handicapped people have to tell,   what
handicapped  people  think  would  improve  their  condition  and
outstanding  accomplishments  and  achievements  by   handicapped
people.  It is hoped that this magazine will  offer  pleasure  to
its  readership  and,   possibly,   serve  as  a  voice  for  the
handicapped to the rest of the world.

      _Special People Magazine_ is  non-profit  and  it  will  be
sent to anyone who is interested,  handicapped or not,   free  of
charge.  At this time,  the magazine is in need of expanding  its
list of subscribers  so  be  sure  and  send  your  requests  for
subscription to chris@graham.uucp or Chris Graham ON 1:  223/228.
Chris never has much of an opportunity to  read  usenet  news  so
uucp capable people should send all replies to  chris@graham.uucp
(...!uunet!mnetor!lsuc!graham!chris).

      When you send in your subscription  request,   be  sure  to
specify what your particular condition is to  help  the  magazine
best serve its readership.  And also  be  sure  to  include  your
preference between an electronic version or  a  printed  version,
or a braille version, as well as the relevant address.

      The magazine is also in need of articles so  mail  them  to
the same address  also.   Articles  written  by  the  handicapped
themselves are *especially* welcome.
