"the only helpful

reporting on the Battle came

from Doug Henwood, the gifted

editor of the Left Business

Observer, and a writer who

proves, like St. Thomas, that a

wrong main idea is no barrier to

top-notch philosphy. "

---------------------------------

bastards, eh? still all publicity good publicity.

cheers

PS: Hang on, there's more:

------------------------

The last time we checked in with

Henwood, it was August of 1998,

and he was proclaiming the

arrival of the Big Bear Market that

would undo nearly two decades'

worth of prosperity. [dd: is this true?]

The drama in

Seattle's streets, however, had

Henwood on more solid ground,

and his on-the-spot reporting

provided the week's most

entertaining reading. Henwood

cheers the discovery that "hard

hats" may be more than mere

"cretinous reactionaries"; he

schoolmarmishly chides an Indian

physicist whose grasp of

historical theory is less manly

than his own ("Shiva ... urged a

'return to national

decision-making which we

control,' apparently not

noticing that the nation-state

itself was an imperial

inheritance"); he celebrates an

anti-McDonald's action by French

farmer Jose Bové (famous for

"ripping the roof off a French

McDonald's"), who was thoughtful

enough to bring a wheel of

"redolent fromage" from his home

country to the Pacific

Northwest.
