...that these deficits are caused by our so-called massive tax cut and defense buildup. Well, that's a real dipsy doodle." According to the President, "Deficits result from sharp increases in nondefense spending." In fact, neither the "propaganda campaign" nor Reagan's counterpropaganda is correct or incorrect, since attributing the deficit to any particular cause is necessarily a matter of political preference.

The Peace Alliance makes all its decisions by consensus, and has followed this procedure since 1980. We have no hierarchy and no elected officials. There is a facilitator for every general meeting, and this position is shared among members of the group on a rotational basis...
...descends from the liberal tradition of the Enlightenment. Despite his assertions of the absolute nature of the value of academic freedom, it seems incorrect to argue from the assumption that Harvard is not embedded in certain value-laden frameworks...
