Race Relations in America
America's racial history is still being written. All Americans share in this discussion and today that discussion will no doubt pick up a little. Sen. Robert Byrd is dead at 92; the West Virginia lawmaker was the longest serving member of Congress in history. He was also infamously a member of the Ku Klux Klan in his early years before formalizing his education and ultimately becoming an elected official, a fact that his detractors never let him live down.
When I was a reading instructor, one passage I was especially fond of was from a great author, historian, actor, and broadcaster, Studds Terkel. I liked it because I was teaching English as a second language and explaining American race relations to outsiders is a formidable task. It's called "Why I quit the Klan" and it's and interview with a former exalted cyclops of the KKK, C.P. Ellis.

Monsanto, Big Brother of the New World Agricultural Order: An Interview With Marie-Monique Robin
Award-winning French journalist and filmmaker Marie-Monique Robin is the author of "The World According to Monsanto: Pollution, Corruption and the Control of Our Food Supply" (The New Press) and the creator of the film by the same name.
In a review of these two projects, Leslie Thatcher writes: "What Marie-Monique Robin most effectively documents are the perverse effects - the moral, social, technological, economic and market failures - of Western society's economic organization, most specifically with respect to science and the products of science and, ultimately, with respect to the preservation of the public commons and human life on the planet"...

Sports Minister apologises to Liverpool FC fans after Hillsborough disaster slur
A senior Government minister has apologised to Liverpool supporters after suggesting that the 1989 Hillsborough disaster was a hooligan-related incident.
Ninety-six football fans were killed on the Leppings Lane terrace at Sheffield Wednesday's ground on April 15 before the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.
Jeremy Hunt MP, Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport, claimed that crowd unrest was responsible for the deaths of Reds supporters 21 years ago when answering questions about the conduct of England fans at this summer's World Cup
He said: "As a Minister, I was incredibly encouraged by the example set by the England fans.
"I mean not a single arrest for a football-related offensive and the terrible problems that we had in Heysel and Hillsborough in the 1980s seem now to be behind us.
"I think you know there is small grounds for encouragement there even though obviously we are very disappointed about the result."
Following backlash from Liverpool fans, the Conservative MP for South West Surrey has released a statement apologising for his comments.
In a statement, the Mr Hunt said: "I know that fan unrest played no part in the terrible events of April 1989 and I apologise to Liverpool fans and the families of those killed and injured in the Hillsborough disaster if my comments caused any offence."
