Still Hungry in America
by Robert ColesBefore a child is born he has already lived a life; and when he is born he comes into more than the immediate world of his mother's arms. Not all pregnant women can take food and vitamins for granted, or a gynecologist to tell them they are indeed pregnant or an obstetrician to watch them and care for them and eventually deliver them a healthy son or daughter. For that matter, not all pregnant women can take for granted clean, running water, or a home that is warm in winter and reasonably free of germ-bearing flies and mosquitoes in summer. Nor can some pregnant women forget about rats and cockroaches, or garbage that is ignored by local "authorities," or sewage that is not adequately drained away.These are American women, American mothers, American children.

Against Her Will
by Ronald J. WatkinsRichard and Victoria Tinyes feared the worst when their thirteen-year-old daughter Kelly Ann vanished from their quiet suburban community of Valley Stream, New York on March 3, 1989. But the nightmare to come was worse than they could ever imagine. Only five doors away, in the home of John and Elizabeth Golub, police found Kelly Ann's body stuffed in a plastic garbage bag. She'd been brutally beaten, stabbed, strangled and mutilated. After weeks of intense investigation, police arrested the Golubs' twenty-one-year--old son. Robert--a reclusive young man obsessed with bodybuilding and given to fits of rage. The sensational trial and subsequent conviction of Robert Golub shocked the nation and tore the once-peaceful community apart. Neighbors took sides. So did the media.

What Is to Be Done? Burning Questions of Our Movement
by Vladimir Ilyich LeninA basic consideration of the conditions and problems in the formation of a vanguard, revolutionary party. Lenin wrote this political pamphlet in 1901, after he had returned to St. Petersburg from three years of Siberian exile for advocating a Marxist revolution against the Tsar, who ruled Russia with an iron hand. In the pamphlet, Lenin argued that only a disciplined party of professional revolutionaries could bring socialism to Russia. He stresses the importance of theory and a revolutionary party guided by that theory. In this, he was at odds with other political groups that advocated a democratic movement toward socialism. He argued against the so-called "Economists," who held that workers were de facto at the forefront of the Marxist movement by virtue of their struggles with their employers over wage issues. In Lenin's view, this amounted to only "trade-union consciousness," which fell far short of the theoretical political consciousness he believed was needed if socialism was to succeed. The pamphlet also calls for a shift of emphasis from local to national work on revolutionary goals, which he would facilitate through communication via an all-Russia political newspaper.
