[PEN-L:260] South Africa pension-stripping stalled

Another question, and then an update on the previous message about SA workers' pension struggles. I've been asked to testify to parliament next Tuesday on the fallout from the East Asian crisis. I have Kim Scipes' terrific newsclips, and Marty H-L and Paul B giving some tight marxist critique

[PEN-L:265] Gadjo Dilo, a movie about gypsy life

We first meet Stéphane [Romain Duris] in the opening moments of "Gadjo Dilo" walking down an ice-covered road in the Romanian countryside. The young Parisian is in search of a legendary gypsy singer, whose tape he carries with him. Her songs had consoled his ethnomusicologist father on his

[PEN-L:276] Beverly Enterprises v. Bronfenbrenner

As those on these lists have probably heard by now, the case against Kate Bronfenbrenner was dismissed Friday on the ground that her statement was made in a congressional proceeding and therefore was privileged. No ruling was made on other issues in the motion to dismiss. Beverly opposed the

[PEN-L:282] Martin Niemoeller on silence

[PEN-L:280] Background on new New Zealand

Lately there has been quite a bit about New Zealand on pen-l; I skipped over most of these items because I find the subject so depressing. Today I found an old file, "The Remaking of New Zealand," a 2-part program that aired on the CBC "Ideas" show October 12 and 19, 1994. I want to post it, but

[PEN-L:277] cultural revolution question

During the 1970s, I read a book by a doctor who practiced medicine in China during the Cultural Revolution, in which he detailed how nurses and orderlies became more important in decision making. I cannot recall the title. Does anybody remember? -- Michael Perelman Economics Department
