...SPRINGSTEEN songs may mostly remind fans of their proms. But more than 500 academics, clergy and journalists planning to attend a conference at Monmouth University in New Jersey this week think the Boss warrants deeper reflection. Papers to be presented at Glory Days: A Bruce Springsteen Symposium include "A Marxist Perspective on Darkness on the Edge of Town," "Steinbeck and Springsteen" and "The Boss and the Bible." Speakers include rock critic Dave Marsh, touted as a "Louie Louie expert," and Frank Stefanko, who has photographed Springsteen a lot. Attendees may also visit the Stone Pony, Springsteen's storied hometown rock...
...means they had no apparent motive to protect him. This lent their words credibility. The allegations against Ahmadenijad lost credibility in Iran when it was revealed that the photograph purporting to show a young Ahmadinejad escorting a blindfolded hostage was dug out by the Iranian Mujahedeen-Khalqh Organization, the Marxist-Islamist exile opposition group classified by the U.S. State Department as a terrorist organization. The MKO fought alongside Saddam Hussein in the Iran-Iraq war, and is despised by most if not all Iranians inside Iran. Still, many Iranians that I spoke to said they wouldn't be surprised...
These events occurred within a month of an incident in Professor David Rosenberg’s first-year torts class in which the often-blunt professor stated that “Feminists, Marxists, and the blacks have contributed nothing to torts.” According to a later clarification, Rosenberg was referring to Feminist, Marxist, and black Crits, but this made no difference.

After years of charging that the White House was orchestrating a secret war to subvert their Marxist-oriented government, there on Nicaraguan TV screens was living proof of their allegations: a burly, rugged-looking, redheaded American named Eugene Hasenfus. The prisoner looked the part he played. Hasenfus, 45, a gung-ho patriot and soldier of fortune, had been captured after parachuting from a U.S. plane that was shot down by Nicaraguan soldiers while on a mission to deliver arms to contra rebels in southern Nicaragua. Three other men, two Americans...
Pretoria also squared off against Mozambique, South Africa's Marxist neighbor to the northeast, which it accuses of harboring A.N.C. guerrillas. Mozambique, in turn, blames South Africa for supporting terrorist activity against its government. Last week Pretoria announced that no more permits would be issued for Mozambican migrants to work in South Africa, and that permits for the 95,000 Mozambicans employed there would not be renewed when they expired. That could prove a serious blow to Mozambique's poverty-stricken economy; remittances from these workers are an important source of revenue...
