- NYC Transit Worker Killed Was also an Artist
  Posted by Sandyenglish
  The deaths of these NYC transit workers expose the chronically poor safety regulations of the MTA, and are a tragic loss for their families, friends and co-workers. In the case of Marvin Franklin, the worker killed in the Hoyt-Schermerhorn station in Brooklyn, his death is also a loss for his fellow artists and the arts.

  The public can watch him 24/7 over a live webcam; and if they choose, visitors to his website can shoot him with a remote controlled paintball gun.

- Seventy years since Stalin’s year of terror: a review of two Trotsky biographies
  Posted by Sandyenglish
  This year marks the 70th anniversary of the most terrible year in the history of the Soviet Union. Having staged in August 1936 a political show trial in Moscow that provided a pseudo-judicial cover for the murder of Lev Kamenev, Grigory Zinoviev, Ivan Smirnov and other leaders of the October Revolution, Stalin launched in 1937 a campaign of terror whose goal was the destruction of all remnants of Marxist political thought and culture in the Soviet Union.

- Fashion Industry Rallies to Aid Designer in Trouble
  Posted by Shemuses from New York Times
  How the deal got accomplished is a story about an industry that operates well outside the norms of 21st century capitalism. The fashion industry is a gigantic $300 billion business made up of public companies as well as independent fashion houses. But it also functions as a neighborhood, where relationships and time-tested handshakes go a long way in determining how things get done.
