The late Ted Berrigan (1934-1983) was a "people and place" poet to a fault, so it's only fitting that friend and fellow-poet Anne Waldman has compiled, edited, and introduced this star-studded tribute/celebration in the form of reminiscences, interviews, poems, letters, critiques, comics, photographs, and collaborations which portray not only the poet but the legendary Lower East Side (NYC) poetry community he called home. Published by Coffee House Press, 27 North 4th Street, Minneapolis, MN 55401. Paper edition (unseen), $14.95. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Moreover, the renowned globalist and Obama's advisor Strobe Talbott said, "In the next century (21st), nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn't such a great idea after all." And James Paul Warburg said, "We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by consent or conquest." Who are America's true enemies? How are they operating inside America? How are they plotting...
