The Colombian finance minister, an architect of the country's current economic policies, will be speaking on campus tomorrow. As many will know, scores of Colombian trade union activists have been murdered over the
past few years. A group of us will be picketing this guy's talk tomorrow;
please consider joining us. The talk begins at 3:30 and we will start
picketing about twenty minutes or so before that. We will be gathering in front of the International Studies Building which is on Fifth near Daniel. |

Nukes and the '64 Election: Scientists on the Stump |

Scientists who have grumbled about George W. Bush's unilateral, bellicose, and preemptive foreign policies and dangerous embrace of nuclear weapons but have not worked actively for his defeat might learn a valuable lesson from the forces behind Lyndon Johnson's lopsided victory over Barry Goldwater in 1964. Although that election has become part of American political folklore, its uncanny resemblance to and striking differences with the 2004 election have gone largely unnoticed. Unlike in 1964, when Democrats and allied scientists made the nuclear threat the centerpiece of the campaign, they have, this time, remained almost silent about the president's systematic lowering of the nuclear threshold, his blurring the distinction between nuclear and conventional weapons, and his destabilizing pursuit of a new generation of nuclear weapons.
Forty years later, we either seem to have forgotten our history -- or never learned anything from it in the first place. |
