Yup, Chuck, an example to illustrate. At last months anti-war demo, among the many tablers I kibbitzed with were two ladies in polyester agitating against California's three strikes law. The day before I had seen at Borders a new book slamming three strikes from U.C. Press. They lived an hr. away in Walnut Creek, utterly unlike San Francisco or Berkeley (where I can walk a few block away from my abode in TL and slip a quarter in the rack in front of the YMCA and get the PWW of the CPUSA [cover price, $1.00, the rack is rusting, I've told the local CPUSA they are losing 75 cents on each sale and given Gorby cut off the $2 million in Moscow Gold, every penny counts] and then a few more blocks to the Tranbay terminal and get my Workers Vanguard , Revolutionary Worker, and Socialist Action newspaper fix satified...) so they said they woulds pick up the book at their Borders in Walnut Creek. http://www.ucpress.edu/books/pages/9684.html Cruel Justice:Three Strikes and the Politics of Crime in America's Golden State, " by Joe Domanick. "A brave and utterly compelling response to the lynch mob mentality that has done so much damage to the moral fabric of California life. Domanick might be our Zola."--Mike Davis, author of Dead Cities
