...problems of today's America. It is an approach which recognizes that it is the working people of the country who must make the revolutionary changes necessary to guarantee a society upholding the individual dignity of man. The working class approach is based on the fact that the major relationship in this society is that of worker and capitalist, employer and employee. Regardless of his salary or the color of his collar, the man who sells his labor power is a worker While there are many groups who fall outside these two major divisions of society (such as sharecroppers, small...
...interest of the employee does not, in either the long run or short run benefit by the capitalist relationship. However, there are segments who can be co-opted by the capitalist system.

A substitute outfielder makes one fantastic catch, brushes briefly with immortality-and for years afterward, people ask: Whatever became of Sandy Amoros? But last week's Series stuck strictly to the script...

Inclined to diffidence until he senses some empathy on the part of his questioner, Leary seized the first opportunity to let me know that our "interviewer-victim relationship" was a "game" he had played many times before. His essentially conservative demeanor became even clearer when he essayed hip speech for a moment, mimicking those who object to imposing any structure on the psychedelic experience: "just let it happen, baby." Spoken by Leary, these words sounded no more authentic than...
