In other stories, PA editor Joe Sims talks with a representative of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union about the crisis on the Russian left and the deepening problems of capitalism in that country. Ken Knies examines the question of the use of political speech by the progressive movement and calls for reforms in our use of language to convince the tens of millions of people out there to join our side. Thomas Riggins provides surprising insights on Marxism's view of religion.
We also offer a special collection of biographical articles, including an interview with long-time peace and social justice activist Ruth Hultgren, a memorial to actor Ossie Davis, and a critical review of the life and work of Chinese American novelist Ailing Zhang. Commentaries on the crisis of democracy, Bush's "newspeak," and the economic insecurity of older Amerians are included.
