- New Hampshire primary foreshadows protracted contest for US presidential nominations
  Posted by Sandyenglish
  The outcome of the Democratic primary suggests that Clinton benefited from a growing concern among working class voters over the state of the US economy. Clinton was the only candidate to raise the growing danger of recession in Saturday’s televised debate, and exit polls showed that the economy was the number one issue of those who turned out to vote, whether they cast a Democratic or a Republican ballot.

- 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.

Since they were captured by Iranian naval forces in the Shatt al Arab waterway, the sailors and marines have come to epitomise the gap between Britain’s pretensions as a world power and its actual capabilities.
