Macho, Macho Militarism

On this year’s International Women’s Day, antiwar feminists take note of how our society has become increasingly militarized as a cult of masculinity has tightened its grip on American politics.
Cynthia Enloe
Corvallis Calls the Troops Home

The Corvallis City Council approved a resolution calling for American troops to come home from Iraq.
Simon Maxwell Apter
A Moral Economy

Progresssives must articulate a vision of a moral economy and a benevolent community that challenges the rhetoric of market fundamentalism.
Fred Block

How are AT&T, Sprint, MCI and other telecommunications giants cooperating with the National Security Agency’s warrantless surveillance program?

Tim Shorrock

Editorial

Will Greenspan Tell the Truth?

A Greenspan memoir will do fine in the marketplace. It is the kind of Important Book daughters buy for father’s birthday. In the unlikely event Greenspan tells the truth, it would be a sensational bestseller.
William Greider
In Fact…

AN OMBUDSMAN ON THE PRESS & THE WAR
The Editors
An Olympian Scandal

Worried about warrantless surveillance in America? Consider the eavesdropping scandal that is currently roiling Greece, enabled by Vodaphone.
John Brady Kiesling
Chile Looks (Slightly) Left

Michelle Bachelet has vowed Chile will be a different country by the end of her four-year term. But she will likely be remembered more for continuity than for change.
Pascale Bonnefoy
Defusing the Iran Crisis

A peaceful resolution to the nuclear dispute with Iran is possible if world leaders work to eliminate the obstacles to intelligent compromise.
Michael T. Klare
Fearmongering on Dubai

Democrats should see the panic over the DP World deal as an opportunity for a nervy rudder-turn and challenge the obsessive secrecy and toxic premises of Bush’s national security policy.

Mary Tillman: ‘The Administration Used Pat’

With the Pentagon’s inspector general suggesting criminal negligence in the killing of former NFL star and Army Ranger Pat Tillman, it is time to demand Congressional hearings into the way the Bush Administration cynically spun the story to serve its political purposes at the expense of the truth.
Robert Scheer
The Price of Inflation

Bush is using inflation to pay off the deficits incurred by his Administration, leaving future generations with more problems than just debt.
Nicholas von Hoffman
With God on Our Side?

The right-wing hijacking of religion’s public role in our political discourse is as undeniable as it is inappropriate, and represents one of liberalism’s most serious problems.
Eric Alterman
Perfect Knowledge, Perfect Ignorance

The Dubai flap is no surprise, considering Bush always promised to run America like a corporation–even if the corporation is Enron.
Patricia J. Williams
On the Uproar Over Allowing a Dubai Government Company to Run American Ports

Turnabout is fair play when it’s the terror card you’re playing.
Calvin Trillin

Life Is Sweet

Federico Fellini: His Life And Work effaces nearly everything written about the great Italian director, offering a distinct critical analysis and an absorbing account of his private life.
Peter Cowie
Will Greenspan Tell the Truth?

A Greenspan memoir will do fine in the marketplace. It is the kind of Important Book daughters buy for father’s birthday. In the unlikely event Greenspan tells the truth, it would be a sensational bestseller.
William Greider
Pledging Allegiance

Todd Gitlin uses patriotism to wallop the radical left in The Intellectuals and the Flag.
Daniel Lazare
Exile and the Kingdom

In his newest novel The Last Friend, Tahar Ben Jelloun draws from his experiences as a writer and activist under Morocco’s repressive monarchy.
