...lesson for the left is perhaps as old as American history: Hang together or hang separately. Undoubtedly the backing of so many different parties bolstered KPFA's staff in their fight with the Pacifica brass.

Aided by the D.C. law firm Akin, Gump (where President Clinton's friend Vernon Jordan is a partner), Idris won the release of $25 million that Washington seized last August. If Idris sues, he'll face a formidable obstacle: a senior Administration official says the government will argue that its attack is covered by a doctrine of international law known as sovereign immunity and cannot be challenged in court.
