It's cowardly and devious to talk about low interest rates and not talk about the real social consequences you're after. Central bankers understand this very well ...

[This is something to be optimistic about, no? Or is the Prada bag fatal to all the rest?] New York Times - November 14, 1999 The Most Innovative Figure in Silicon Valley? Maybe This Labor Organizer By STEVEN GREENHOUSE SAN JOSE, Calif. -- With a Prada bag and the air of an entrepreneur, Amy Dean is an unlikely labor trailblazer.

37643 Cockburn on confederacy -- rank: 1000
Doug Henwood wrote: >Adolph Reed teaches at the New School, but lives in New Haven >because he doesn't like New York literary/political circles. And I should add that he spends a good bit of his life as an organizer for the Labor Party, which involves lots of agitational writing and talking to community groups and union locals. You may think the LP is a doomed effort - I don't; I spend some time working for it myself - but Adolph's life is hardly one of academic leisure. Doug

[This exchange between Ian Murry and Joel Kovel was a response to Kovel's piece on the WTO at <http://www.greens.org/ny/tohtml.cgi?kovel/wto.htm>. The original is a bit long for reposting, but I thought this was worth sharing with the outside world.] Thanks for the very thoughtful set of questions, Ian. This was the exact purpose of the statement--to set forward a dialogue on this surpassingly important issue. I'll do my best to answer, though you should know in advance that I am not going ...

Not a column. Occasional contributions to their soon-to-be-unveiled op-ed page. I enjoy reading NYP a lot, right-wing blowhards and all; I don't agree with Katha on that, but they've never c ...

37650 Reed -- rank: 1000
Speaking of Adolph Reed (whom I admire as much as Katha does, and for the same reasons), I'm going to be interviewing him on my radio show this coming Thursday, 5-6 PM NYC time, WBAI 99.5 FM. He'll be there ostensibly to talk about his new book, Stirrings in the Jug: Black Politics in the Post-Segregation Era (University of Minnesota Press), but I'm sure we'll talk about lots else besides. I suspect the topic of Alex Cockburn and the Confederacy will come up. Also on the show will be David Spiro ...
