Thanks for the fine list of organizations, Katha Pollitt, but if you want generosity out of the public, you might want to employ some yourself and reconsider that invective you aimed at Bill Ayers two weeks ago. At the very least, you could admit that it's just as much about Paul Mattick and Alexander Cockburn as it is about Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn.
