Why should American atrocities be merely unsettling, but a trip to Hanoi unconscionable?

The issue of civil rights was too much for the establishment to handle. One of the chapters of history that's least studied by historians is the 300 to 500 riots in the U.S. between 1965 and 1970.

Already this war on gangs in California is taking money from universities to build prisons, and the universities have some clout.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

Also, I preached to gangs on the streets of Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx - and miracles began to happen.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.
