Only months after its release, Max Elbaum's study of the US New Communist Movement of the 1970s, Revolution in the Air: Sixties Radicals Turn to Lenin, Mao and Che (Verso, 2002), has become required reading for veterans of that movement and up-and-coming young activists alike.
For the old-timers, it seems almost miraculous to have someone writing of their experience—from the inside! (Although one veterano commented, "I was totally into it for the first 90 pages, couldn't put it down, then I thought, 'Wait a minute, I know how this turns out!' Then I was bummed.") For new revolutionaries, it shows how much the Marxism of that period drew from revolutionary movements of the Third World. Further, its defense of revolutionary organization promises lessons they can use for organization-building within today's struggles. |

 | As the US Targets the Philippines:
Defend Jose Maria Sison! | With the US poised to attack Iraq, another US military operation is underway — and it's largely under the radar of the larger anti-war movement. Currently, the US armed forces have thousands of troops stationed in the Republic of the Philippines, supposedly to battle the reactionary bandit group Abu Sayyaf. As many observers had predicted, these US troops are now beginning to target the popular insurgency led by the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and its military wing, the New People's Army (NPA). Under the guise of fighting terrorism, the US is assaulting the revolutionary left and progressive forces around the world. The Bush administration is using the Philippines as a test case to see how much aggression it can get away with. |

The Switch: A Short Story Everything, sooner or later, is over. The crowd outside the prison is getting bigger and bigger, spilling across the highway and up the hillsides. Helicopters hover overhead. Most are from the networks; several are from the European Union, one is from the OAU, and two are pure security—US Air Force on loan to the sovereign state of Pennsylvania. |

The Chicano Moratorium  | | Tens of thousands of Chicanas and Chicanos from all over Aztlán, the Southwest, converged on Los Angeles for the Moratorium. | Panels, religious services, exhibitions, performances, radio programs and a spirited rally of several hundred gave Los Angeles a pronounced political tone last August. The week of activities celebrated the anniversary of the Chicano Moratorium of August 29, 1970, a mighty eruption of mass anger that was attacked in a police riot. |
