Hey I luv the stuff too, but we're not exactly in the middle of the
bell curve of the working class' reading habits. I used H and M and F
to great effect in an organizing drive; read 'em on my lunch break and
then hook up with coworkers at the punchout clock. We lost, but even
the weakest of union supporters learned a lot about CA without
jargonizing in the middle of intense conflicts with mgmt.
