Fred comments: I have to admit I found this one of the most unchallengeably un-odd things in the Militant. (I concede that, from a point of view, that is exactly what is odd about it.) It would have been good if more currents had attended. I assume they didn't know about it. I cannot imagine anything the Militant was doing that was worth more attention than this. The three reporters and their leadership status seem appropriate to me. Aside from the coverage of immigrant struggles, I find nothing in the Militant that is less odd and more appropriate than this. Perhaps the reason for the deviation from irrelevance is the comrade using the name BASKARAN APPU, which sounds to me like it reflects an origin in the Malaysian-Indonesian peninsula and archipelago. Of course, my linguistic skills are very crude, to put it mildly. Anyway this is the last thing in the Militant that I would call "odd". The very fact that both David and I were interested, and not just to take potshots, indicates the contrary.
