21376 [lbo-talk] Doug Henwood profile -- rank: 1000
Michael Perelman wrote: >Lynne Stewart There's a good piece in the current ish of Reason (not on web) on the Justice Dept's attempts to criminalize being a defense attorney. It's not just Stewart they're after - it's an entire pattern. Of course the Stewart prosecution is politically scarier. She's not being charged under the PATRIOT Act, because her alleged offenses were committed before that law was passed. Under the PATRIOT Act, the very defense of an accused "terrorist" could it ...

Which is the story of much of the Soviet experience, no? A couple of world wars, a civil war, a cold war, international isolation, etc. It wasn't an environment in which DSA types could calmly make policy in a peaceful democratic setting. Doug

[Ozone Man must be taking some B-12 shots.] <http://www.moveonpac.org/goreremarks052604.html/> [...] Our founders understood full well that a system of checks and balances is needed in our constitution because every human being lives with an internal system of checks and balances that cannot be relied upon to produce virtue if they are allowed to attain an unhealthy degree of power over their fellow citizens.

21382 [lbo-talk] WBAI crisis -- rank: 1000
The management of WBAI - the station where I do my show - won't pay for its Arbitron ratings, because they're allegely too expensive ($6,000, out of a budget of some $3-4 million) and sinister (creeping commercialism and all). It claims rising listenership, on the basis of undisclosed evidence. But according to someone who's seen the numbers: >In the last year alone, WBAI's listenership fell by nearly 18%.
