Family, friends, and supporters filled the courtroom to capacity, including IVAW members and more than a dozen active duty soldiers. Four of the soldiers, including his brother, testified to Wilkerson's "outstanding" performance in the army, and the fact that he did not maliciously abandon his fellow soldiers and had made every attempt to be discharged from the military as a conscientious objector; and when denied, he sought reassignment to a non-combat rear detachment. Lori Hurlebaus of Courage to Resist (couragetoresist. org) accompanied Aguayo's mother, his wife Helga, and their two daughters to Germany for the court martial. Hurlebaus writes of the Aguayos' appreciation for the public support campaign that focused attention on [Agust]ín's case. Her report quotes Helga Aguayo after t...
With apologies to Martin Scorsese, it is possi- ble to dislike Samuel Fuller and still love film. Yes, the director was topical and daring and filmed on a shoestring, but style counts for something, and Fuller's penchant for bludgeoning statements puts any appreciation of his work in scare quotes.
While [Scott Huler] finds some scattered reasons to hope - he spends some time celebrating popular Atlanta mayor Shirley Franklin, who called herself the "sewer mayor" and even raised taxes to protect Atlanta's water supply- there's a palpable sense in On the Grid that we just won't be able to turn the ship around, that we're just too lazy, too entitled, too ignorant and too set in our ways to change. Of those sins, it is "too ignorant" that clearly frustrates Huler the most; early in the book he approvingly quotes James Burke's pithy description of contemporary Americans' relationship to their infrastructure: "Never have so many known so little about so much." At the Regulator he argued it Was "borderline immoral" for people to know so little about the systems on which they depend; and...

So don't expect a conceptual Aesthetics or Manifesto from [Michael McFee]'s first book of essays. (McFee on Poe's aridly discursive "Philosophy of Composition": "Yeah, right.") The Napkin Manuscripts is, as its title suggests, not a treatise but a loose stack of thoughts, many originally jotted on Hardee's napkins-"though McDonald's are okay," McFee allows-in a tick of inspiration. Yet taken as a whole, this unassuming, colloquial book gives the basics of McFeeism-although he'd rather you glean his Poetics by reading his poems. It's easy to mistrust the book's first part, since the notion of "Southern literature" is often overblown, hoary and self-mythologizing. The novelist Walker Percy (a UNC alum) grew so tired of the subject that he finally refused to address it. McFee, who is from ...
