IDA TARBELL RISES FROM HER GRAVE
================================
(CNNS, 12/28/98) -- In the late 1800s, Ida Tarbell wrote her
classic muckraking book, "The History of Standard Oil".
Ida Tarbell was a classy dame. Anyone who has read her or has
read of her knows that she shines, by virtue of her inner
goodness. Tarbell was a Lincoln scholar who by fate began
investigating Rockefeller's Standard Oil conglomerate. And
Tarbell, a Marie Curie in her own rite, pursued Truth in her
time, no matter where it led.
Ida Tarbell died. Then came a strange "leftism" that cared only
for corporations and not for working people. Now, Bill Clinton
and his pretend "leftism" is phasing out. In the waiting room is
George Bush, Jr. and pretend "conservatism."
But unsettling to the fake "left" and the fake "right" is that
Ida Tarbell has risen from her grave.
She has risen with a vengeance. "WHERE ARE MY CHILDREN!?" her
100-year-old voice demands of the nation's stewards, the
preened-and-proper servants left to care for the People in her
absence. Those servants, appalled by Tarbell's unexpected
resurrection, hide behind the skirts of statisticians and are in
a frenzy.
"Here's symbolisms!" they reply to Tarbell's demand.
Ida Tarbell's eyes open upon a strange new world.
Waitresses paid $2.13 per hour.
Psychologic overseers using a new management technique,
"management by stress"; workers squeezed to exact maximum
productivity.
No right to go to the bathroom; some workers wearing
diapers to deal with the situation.
Ida Tarbell now goes by the name of Barbara Ehrenreich. She
disguises herself and submerges into the lowliest jobs, then
reports on what she's seen. She's a rare bird among "leftists":
she's worked. Bill Clinton, who has never, ever, not once in his
life, had to work a real job, is dumbfounded. George Bush, Jr.,
similarly not-a-worker, has "focus groups" analyzing the best
symbolisms. Bill and George are scared. This wasn't supposed to
happen. Barbara Ehrenreich, nee Ida Tarbell, is raking up the
muck when ALL THAT's supposed to be over and done with by now.
Read what she has to say in the latest issue of Harper's
magazine. ("Nickle and Dimed" by Barbara Ehrenreich. Harper's
magazine, Jan. 1999.) Look for it in your local library.
