Dædalus is the American Academy of Arts and Sciences' quarterly magazine, founded in 1955 and published quarterly since 1958 .

Dædalus attracted international attention in early 1990 for an article entitled “To the Stalin Mausoleum”, which was only signed with a “Z”, in which the author predicted that the days of Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev as head of the Soviet Union were numbered. The press suspected such different people as Zbigniew Brzeziński , Henry Kissinger , Jeane Kirkpatrick , Alexander Haig , Walter Laqueur , Condoleezza Rice or Robert Zoellick behind the pseudonym . In reality it was Russia historian Martin Edward Malia of the University of California at Berkeley . He had obtained anonymity to protect his sources in the Soviet Union .
