The New Leader (1924–2006) was a political and cultural magazine.
The New Leader began in 1924 under a group of figures associated with the Socialist Party of America. These included Eugene V. Debs and Norman Thomas. It was published in New York by the American Labor Conference on International Affairs. Its orientation was liberal and anti-communist. The Tamiment Institute was the magazine's primary supporter.
Its overall politics shifted in its second decade:
The founding editor was James Oneal who was succeeded by Sol Levitas in 1940. Suzanne La Follette was a managing editor in the 1950s. Myron (Mike) Kolatch took over in 1961 until the magazine's closure in 2006.
Its contributors were dominant liberal thinkers and artists. The New Leader first published Joseph Brodsky and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn in the United States. It first published Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "Letter from Birmingham Jail." Other contributors, who were generally paid nothing or only a modest fee, included James Baldwin, Daniel Bell, Willy Brandt, David Dallin, Milovan Djilas, Theodore Draper, Max Eastman, Ralph Ellison, Hubert Humphrey, George F. Kennan, Murray Kempton, Irving Kristol, Hans Morgenthau, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Albert Murray, Ralph de Toledano, Reinhold Niebuhr, George Orwell, Bertrand Russell, Cyril Joad, Bayard Rustin, and Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr.
It's like I'm at a candy buffet
Gum drops, blow pops, strawberries, and grapes
I know
You got the flavor
You all in the mix like a cup of Kool Aid
When I try to kiss ya
Put the suga on my lips
I can't resist, I'm not used to this
Can anybody help me why
Shortie got me feelin' high
You're my now and later
Since you're so good to me
Like a cherry flavor life saver
Please don't ever leave
Now and later girl
My candy girl
I can see gettin' close to you
Baby I want you all to myself
They don't understand
I consider as my first real love
I know you're authentic first sho'nuff
From the rob into love
Baby you changed me
I feel good about you
Before the sugar rush I'd never doubt ya
I need you dealin' wit me not without me
So baby get in close to me
You don't have to worry
Baby we got forever
To keep it grown
Baby it's a good thing
You're right here
And I am always cool with that
Candy coated love
Put your hands up if you in the spot
Let me see your now and later drop
Put your hands down playin' around
Now let me see your now and later drop
Put your hands up if you in the spot
Let me see your now and later drop
Put your hands down if you wanna play around
