add to cart   close window

The article presents updates from the U.S., as of February 20, 1995. The extraordinary expansion of the U.S. prison system over the past decade represents the regressive socialism of the right: the only expanding public housing, the only growing public sector employment. The resulting prison archipelago is both vaster and more severely overcrowded than is generally acknowledged. According to another update, on January 30, I. Michael Heyman, the Smithsonian Institution's newly appointed secretary, announced the museum's unconditional surrender to a coalition of veterans groups and politicians on the exhibition of the Enola Gay, the plane that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan.
