RE: Re: Kosovo and DU

Re(read) Kirkpatrick Sale's book on SDS. It's out of print alas.
Find it at your university library. You were there, I was in
elentary school but, from talking with assorted SDS vets (and
PLP'ers too, they are still around, (I talked to some at a Labor
Solidarity conference in S.F. recently, [not about Jared! about
the PRC and WTO]over the years and reading too much on the history
of the New Left) I formed a negative opinion of PLP. Think SDS
made a real mistake when they let those nuts in. Destroyed what
was fresh in the movement for inappropriate dogma. Between RYM
1, RYM 11, PLP and the Weatherman, plus of coarse COINTELPRO,
SDS was destroyed.
