Nader and what he represents are doomed, it seems, to endure this kind of comment over and over. If it's not costing those nice Democrats the 2000 election,  it's failure to build an alternative party. He can't win with those who won't see. He has never built a new political party around himsel

Russell was light-skinned but african-american. He deserves attention; he remains an unsung hero of 'jazz, a people's music.' In addition to the recordings recommended by Ringo, I would recommend his 2-disc european concert with Don Cherry as guest soloist, I think titled "Live at Beethoven HalI
