Not in South Africa. There are very few voices from the left-left 
given any mass-media credence here, and one of them -- Cockburn -- 
pipes up on the main radio news programme (like NPR's Morning 
Edition) every Wednesday at 6:45AM for five minutes, reading chunks 
of his Nation columns. It's an incredible breath of fresh air blowing 
through the suffocating ideological media dust he would term "coerced 
harmony."

Russell, we can agree on this at least, comrade?

(PS: Our first-ever, militant-particularlist demo at the WB office in 
Pretoria -- and then a 5-star hotel afterwards where the res rep 
was meeting his Lesotho dam co-financiers -- went extremely well 
yesterday, joined as it was not only by municipal workers, students 
and greens, but by Jubilee 2000 activists from nearly a dozen other 
South countries.)
