Letters

Our Readers

Time to Disband the Supercommittee

The vast majority of Americans want Congress to focus on jobs. So why is it still focused on deficit reduction—and making key budget decisions in secret?

The Editors

The 99 Percent Vote to Protect Labor Rights, Voting Rights, Reproductive Rights and Immigrant Rights

From Ohio to Maine to Mississippi, voters rejected the conservative agenda on key issues.

John Nichols

Noted.

D.D. Guttenplan on Occupy London, George Zornick on corporate tax evaders, Alexandra Tempus on corporate schools

Paramilitary Policing From Seattle to Occupy Wall Street

As Seattle police chief in 1999, my disastrous response to the WTO protests should have been a cautionary tale. Yet our police forces have only become more militarized.

Norm Stamper

Deadline Poet

The Pundits Contemplate Herman Cain

Calvin Trillin

The Liberal Media

The Agony and Ecstasy—and 'Disgrace'—of Steve Jobs

While our tech-obsessed media fondled their iPhones, it was left to a courageous monologist to discover the real legacy of Apple's founder.

Eric Alterman

Beneath the Radar

How Greece Exposed Europe's Potemkin Democracy

It’s not surprising that Greece’s proposed referendum elicited such outrage. Europe doesn’t work like that.

Gary Younge

Capitalism vs. the Climate

Denialists are dead wrong about the science. But they understand something the left still doesn’t get about the revolutionary meaning of climate change.

Naomi Klein

Confessions of an Unrepentant Exile

Returning to Chile decades after Allende’s death, I was no longer a soldier of the revolution. What changed?

Ariel Dorfman

Why Aren't the Jobless Flocking to Zuccotti Park?

Blaming themselves for their plight, the unemployed don’t look to protest—or to government—for a way out.

Louis Uchitelle

Night Thoughts of a Baffled Humanist

Punitive yet salvific, austerity is the ideology of a country that has turned against its own culture.

Marilynne Robinson
