In the beginning, I read _Nerve_ for the true-life, galvanic contributions of Lisa Crystal Carver, probably best known as zine editor of both _Dirt_ and _Rollerderby_. Carver's ripostes were meat-rich, heartful and intelligent, whether she was mooning over the entries for her "Date With Lisa" contest, with her boyfriend sitting next to her, or considering the effects of a manipulative, womaniz...
