...progressive political force in Japan still adheres to Marxism. (When I half-seriously asked one college-aged party member whether he reads the classics, he reached into his backpack and produced Volume II of the 13-volume Japanese translation of Das Kapital.) But the JCP will likely pick up protest votes in July's legislative elections, and the party is zealously recruiting new members. "I think my friends and those around me have a lot of difficulty and hardship finding themselves, having any confidence in themselves," says Suzuki, the Wako University student. "But as a member...

In May, the New York State Labor Department established the Bureau of Immigrant Workers' Rights to make sure immigrant workers aren't treated differently from those born in the United States...
Discontent with Harvard's support for ROTC peaked in April 1969, when students stormed University Hall to protest, among other grievances, ROTC's presence on Harvard's campus. In recent years, Harvard and other elite universities have barred military recruiters from their campuses due to the military's “don't ask, don't tell” policy, which prohibits gay individuals from serving openly in the military...
