The New York Times Obituary on Gus Hall

[JKSCHW at aol.com]

I have a friend, very sensible guy, used to be in the CP, but no dogmatist; 
he did go on a (Party-sponsored) trip to NK, said there was little or no real 
supervision, or it was easy to slip the leash. Course he knew no Korean. But 
he was impressed, given the general East-Bloc-iness of it all, especially 
compared to the Philippines, where he had been. This was some time ago, maybe 
15 years ago. --jks

<< The last words of the NY Times obit:

"The world should see that North Korea has done," Mr. Hall said. "In many 
ways, it's a miracle."

"If you want to take a nice vacation, take it in North Korea."

Power concedes nothing without a demand.
It never has, and it never will.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress.
Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation are men who 
want crops without plowing the ground. They want rain without thunder and 
lightening. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters.
