Raid those memory banks again and take some gingko ;-) I've got about 50 back issues of Telos mostly from the 80's and just did a google. Only A.J. Polan was a review of his book in issue from summer '85 by Robert D'Amico, one of the regulars then. (On the decline of Telos, found this recently, http://eserver.org/bs/31/holub.html and this in NLR, "Confronting neoliberal regimes: The post-Marxist embrace of populism and realpolitik." Author: Frankel, Boris Source: New Left Review Date: Nov-Dec 1997
Paul Le Blanc here http://www.newsandletters.org/Issues/1997/Nov/1197pd.htm , reprinted from Monthly Review piece on Kevin Anderson's excellent book on Hegel, Lenin and Western Marxism calls Polan, "trendy, bourgeois." Heh. Le Blanc, for a leninist, though is well worth reading, see this http://www.laborstandard.org/New_Postings/Cuba_Revised_by_PL.htm by him recently on Cuba.
Back to A.J. Polan. Googling couldn't even find his CV. Via EBSCO found this, Emancipation or surveillance? The Political implications of new forms of educational assessment. Author: Polan, Anthony J. Source: Political Quarterly
Tomorrow I'll look through vols. of Sociological Abstracts and the poli sci citation indexes. I've wondered where Polan is too.
And, on another list, a Ukranian student enamored of the RAF of Ulrike Meinhof and A. Baader is touting a Russian named Alexander Tarasov who has spoken at NBP HQ. Who is he?
