This journal has the same publication address, and shares graphic design/format features with News from Everywhere, so looks like the people who did News from Everywhere did this afterwards. Red Marriott or anyone have more info about this?

Four people wrote & published Modern Times. Two of the same people published News From Everywhere. All pre-digital old school cut'n'paste layout. Both the MT & 1st NFE pamphlets were published at the same time (1987), the 2nd NFE a year later. The 1988 MT date above was memory lapse, now corrected.

Yes. A few pamphlets were also published under that imprint, as listed in NFE 2.
