ON POLITICS:
Notes of a Reluctant Radical
"He alone is worthy of life and freedom,
who each day does battle for them anew."
Goethe
Most of these brief pieces were written
specifically for the internet, appearing first either in The Online
Gadfly or The Crisis Papers. Some of this material has
been adapted and included in Conscience of a Progressive.
Accordingly, the first listing under these topics will be the relevant
chapters in the book.
Many Crisis Papers
editorial essays, not directly pertinent to politics, will be
found among
The Gadfly
Editorials.
All internet editorials (published
first by The Online Gadfly and The Crisis Papers) will be
identified by a header, "The Gadfly Bytes" along with the date of
publication. In addition, editorials that have been assimilated
into Conscience of a Progressive will be so indicated.
