An important role in fostering this new consensus has clearly been played
by the powerful mass media, which are inevitably in thrall to the same
dominant interest groups. This is not to suggest that there is no argument

Louis,
When are you referring to when you say that West
Germany "started out" as more industrialized than East
Germany? They were about even in 1939, with, if anything,
the East slightly ahead of the West. The point in time at
which there was a big difference was about 1953 after

THOUSANDS TURN OUT FOR NATIONWIDE PROTEST. According to
Interfax, initial reports from the Interior Ministry suggest
that more than 60,000 people turned out for public protests
in the Far East on 7 October--a much smaller turnout than
organizers had expected. In Vladivostok only 3,000, rather

A while back, on both PEN-L and Doug Henwoods's LBO-Talk list, I tried to
explain how impossible it is to evaluate the performance of capitalism in a
single country in comparison to a socialist country. The 2 Koreas and the 2

There's another dimension to this, which Doug
Valis posted something about this to pen-l. I wrote to the Senior Senator from
Utah to request a copy of the pamphlet. He responded that he shared my concern
about our President's sexual misdeeds, and that he would do all that he could to
pursue justice.
I probably missed something in the logic
