Cover photo: Moslem soldier plays piano in destroyed music school, Mostar, Bosnia. keywords: Magazine Politics. DESCRIPTION - CONTENTS - LETTER FROM NOAM CHOMSKY - People may be confused about the causes of the great inequality they see, but they understand that business and government are not to be trusted. Now, more than ever, Chomsky’s insight into the mechanics and role of propaganda is crucial. COVERT BRIEFS - CAQ FORUM ON BOSNIA - CHRONOLOGY OF CONFLICT; BOSNIAN CHALLENGE by Andreas Zumach; DANGEROUS INTERVENTIONS by Joan Phillips - As the war in Bosnia heats up, so do cries for the U.S. to do something, do anything. CAQ asks two experts to discuss their divergent views of the causes, conduct, and possible resolution of the conflict, as well as what intervention might mean; INTERNATIONAL FOCUS - CONFLICTED KURDISTAN by Vera Beaudin Saeedpour - The U.S. plays a double game in Kurdish regions of the Middle East, helping some Kurds and hammering others. As usual, Kurdish popular interests fall by the wayside; LABOR TODAY: BLOOD, SWEAT & FEARS - NAFTA'S CORPORATE CON ARTISTS by Sarah Anderson & Kristyne Peter - With the treaty ink barely dry, the very corporations that led the pro-NAFTA fight in Congress with promises of more jobs and a cleaner environment moved shops to Mexico. The cost, so far, is more than 35,000 lost jobs; THE WONDERFUL LIFE AND STRANGE DEATH OF WALTER REUTHER by Michael Parenti & Peggy Noton - Reuther's career as a labor leader who stood up for a broad social agenda earned him powerful enemies and a high place on Hoover's hit list. His death in a 1970 plane crash may have been the last in a long series of attacks against him; ARMED AND DANGEROUS: PRIVATE POLICE ON THE MARCH by Mike Zielinski - The era of dual law enforcement is here as government and corporations hire rent-a-cops to guard businesses and gated communities and to break strikes. Now, abuses by the private security industry and its employees themselves threaten public security; FAREWELL TO A FASCIST by Daniel Junas - Ryoichi Sasakawa, one of the world's leading fascists, died in July. CAQ says Sayonara; THE AFL-CIO IN MOSCOW by David Bacon - With elections pending for the giant labor federation, its activities in Russia reveal an agenda which is serving U.S. foreign policy and corporate interests at the expense of workers in both countries; PRISON LABOR by Reese Erlich - Private business and state prison systems have found a lucrative captive labor market. Civilian jobs and prisoners' rights are on the line as corporations set up factories and businesses behind bars. OFF THE SHELF: BOOKS OF INTEREST. inventory #48508.…
