...S.L.A. struck into public consciousness last November with a claim of responsibility for the murder of Oakland School Super intendent Marcus Foster, who was shot in a parking lot with cyanide-tipped bullets. Foster's deputy, Robert Blackburn, was wounded in the attack. Foster had incurred the wrath of a community group by proposing student identity cards to help combat violence in the junior and senior high schools. Why the terrorist organization became involved was a mystery until it was discovered that one of its members, Willie Wolfe, was also a member of the community group. Two months later, Oakland...
...family followed the rites set down in the Haggadah (literally, a "telling"), the old story would unfold: the bitter slavery under the Pharaoh and God's scourging of Egypt with plagues until the children of Israel were set free.

The party organ charged that Peach Mountain was a remake of a 1966 opera that ignored class struggle while promoting the Confucianist notion of a "kingdom of gentlemen." Most...
...many women these days--Claudia Dreifus, Elizabeth Gould Davis--are obsessed with the need for righteous feminist indignation not to mention that it seems to sell well. So they diligently lace their writing with feminine wrath. But Tucker doesn't use sex as a ploy to draw attention to the book. In this way The Woman's Eye is a refreshing contrast to the usual collection of photographs. There are no glamor portraits, sex symbols or Earth Mothers ("Nude women have floated in still ponds, been massaged by rushing waters, prayed at the base of phallic trees, and danced...
