...news story, Jul. 21, 1995). I served as a faculty member under Marius for two years; a forthwright and sometimes outspoken intellectual, he has always drawn a steady flow of criticsm, and like all of us, he has his faults. As a colleague of Marius, as a sometime critic of the man, and as a Jew, let me be emphatic: anti-Semitism is not one of those faults...
...week strike against both major Detroit newspapers. Sixunionsrepresenting 2,500 workers walked off their jobs at the Gannett-owned Detroit News and Knight-Ridder's Free Press on July 13 over proposed job cuts and pay changes.

Otherwise, the review was well written, and should bring throngs to movie theaters...
PERHAPS THE HARSHEST CRITIC OF THE ATF'S WACO RAID was the bureau's own master, the Treasury Department.
