HOW MITT ROMNEY DODGED THE DRAFT — H. Bruce Franklin remembers Romney from his Stanford days and lays out exactly how he and his father ensured he would evade service in the war which, at Stanford, he was demonstrating for. Andrew Cockburn gives CounterPunchers a compelling investigation of the rise of automated warfare and of the Drones, their vast costs and constant failures. Wei Zhang assesses the social and health costs of China’s incredible GDP growth.
In a Moment’s Time (for Philip Berrigan)
The presses might have stopped in their tracks Television might have shut down in mid-commercial The Internet might have gone off line–and The War might never have begun– If only for one moment of praise.
But none of this happened–
While those of us who know And those of you who knew Silently mourn the passing Of an impeccable hero.
