Papa Hemingway and FBI

Posted on July 5, 2011 by iwilder

IW:  They said Hemingway committed suicide because of his paranoid delusions.  Proof of this was his constant talk of being under FBI surveillance.  I mean, come on.  Until this New York Times article turned up this weekend titled Hemingway, Hounded by the Feds: Decades later, in response to a Freedom of Information petition, the F.B.I. released its […]

NYT: Fracking Poisons our Water

Posted on March 2, 2011 by iwilder

Other documents […]

Attacking Public Employees: Will New York Lead?

Posted on January 12, 2011 by iwilder

A genuinely progressive governor would begin work on the state budget by correcting unfairly low levels of taxation of business, reducing regressive taxes, and increasing the progressivity of personal income taxes. The new governor instead chooses not to raise taxes on those whose wealth insulated them from the worst effects of the economic crisis and […]

MLK to O: We Must End Our Violence Abroad and At-Home

Posted on January 8, 2011 by iwilder

Ian writes: Today’s shooting in Arizona of Congresswoman Giffords is an awful reminder of why violence is not the answer to political disagreements.  Dr. King was widely criticized, including on the editorial pages of the New York Times, for broadening his speeches from only violence at home to include  violence abroad. In a famous speech, […]

Eliot Katz: Ginsberg and the NY Times article on the Beats & the Tea Party

Posted on October 23, 2010 by iwilder

Dear Friends (who were also friends of Allen’s): In the October 10th New York Times Book Review, there was an article by Lee Siegel comparing the views of Beat Generation writers, including Allen’s, to the right-wing Tea Party movement. I wrote a letter to the Book Review editor in response because I thought it was […]

Opportunity embraced: Howie Hawkins, center stage | syracuse.com

Posted on October 21, 2010 by iwilder

For the most part, his role in the debate seemed to leave a good impression. The New York Times spoke of Hawkins’ “earnest pleas” and described him as a candidate who offered “substance.” Former Republican gubernatorial candidate John Faso was not so kind; when a post-debate caller to YNN offered praise for Hawkins, Faso used […]
