Review

“American Sniper” has exploded on the national scene, sending reverberations back 100 years to D.W. Griffith's “The Birth of a Nation.”

“Poison Spring” chronicles some of the consequences of that fraud in an agency snared in its own tangled lies.

The drug war has failed, and a humane policy of legalization and nonpunitive drug treatment is long overdue.

“WAKE UP!,” David Krieger's most recent book of poetry, is fully alive to the beauty and promise of our precious world.

“Heavy Radicals” outlines how the FBI infiltrated '60s Maoist political groups.

“High Price” debunks the myth that there is a direct connection between crime and drug use.

“How Human Rights Can Build Haiti” is a must-read for all those concerned about human rights, both in Haiti and elsewhere.

“American Sniper” is a racist, militaristic movie. But it has much to teach us if we want to build a successful antiwar movement.

Neither a “great man” history of Martin Luther King Jr., nor a tale of forgotten underdogs, Selma is about skilled activists building a movement.

Schools can and must become zones of popular de-indoctrination and democratic re-imagination.
