However, in all fairness to this most recent attempt at a newspaper for women, Equal Times does have its good points. Essentially, it fills a gap and picks up the pieces left by the mainstream newspapers. While its news coverage is scanty in the first regular issue it does make an attempt to play up some items concerning women that normally receive scant attention elsewhere. But again, Equal Times fails its readers when it becomes too enamored with news of upper middle class women or women in upper middle class status jobs...
Black liberation groups in South Africa including the African National Congress have rejected the Transkei, and, according to Africa magazine, some of them plan to sabotage the new state by methods more forceful than diplomatic boycotts. Whether or not that happens, the Transkei will remain isolated from the mainstream of the black freedom movement in South Africa, a movement that the Soweto riots this summer have shown to be growing steadily.

Fallows had his own added brand of pressure to cope with. While solidly to the left of the mainstream, he is remembered as a relatively moderate voice inside the paper's debates.

Becoming conscious of this internalization is extremely difficult and requires a process that the exiled Brazilian educator, Paulo Freire, has called "conscientizacao," sometimes translated "consciousness raising." In practice it is done most successfully by groups of people who have had similar experiences, marginal to the mainstream and who feel that the social accepted view of reality differs significantly from their own, though often in ways they cannot define or describe to their own satisfaction. By sharing their experiences of the ways in which the dominant view is not their own (and has often victimized them), they begin...
...BIOGRAPHY of Celine, Patrick McCarthy, like others before him, traces the evolution of the author's racist and fascist attitudes from such relatively trivial incidents and jests to the collaborationist propaganda he spewed during World War II. But McCarthy diverges from the critical mainstream by treating the political pamphleteering as part of Celine's purely literary legacy. Typically, critics have turned to one of several options in dealing with Celine's work, ranging, from apolitical--some might say irresponsible--leniency to intransigent ideological indictment: Celine's politics have been ignored; explained away as the delirium of an unstable mind; excused...
