Media of the Day William Buckley interviews Huey Newton on Firing Line

Quote of the Day Alexander Cockburn: "These days a very large number of Americans live about 500 dollars from disaster (and often a tenth of that sum) on their monthly budgets. They're mostly not more than 50 miles from a new prison and a couple of percentage points from a boost in their mortgage payments that would spell ruin. They think both political parties are worthless. Their main enemies are often cops, social workers and the family courts."
