Important Notice: Political Action

Political action is being organized for the December meeting of the AAA$ to be held between Xmas and New Year's at the Conrad Hilton, Sheraton-Blackstone and Pick-Congress Hotels in Chicago.

About This Issue

Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it. And then he feels that...

About This Issue

The March issue, like all other issues of Science for the People, represents people as much as it does ideas or facts. Steve Hollis (Brother Hollis Writes from Kansas, p. 25) is just another one of us who finds that the pains, pleasures, experiences and concerns of his life are the common experience of us all.

About This Issue

So history repeats itself. And following in the tradition of the past October editorial collective, we find that our numbers are few (diminished from seven to two in this case.)

About This Issue

The AAA$ meetings have come and gone. They received front-page coverage—usually with photos—in the establishment press largely because of our actions. The second-rate scientific talks and panel discussions-admitted to be second-rate even by AAA$ organizers-certainly were nothing to write home about. But witches...

About This Issue

Vol. II, No. 4 of Science for the People is the largest, and we think best, issue so far. In keeping with our desire to serve political action needs there are articles on some of the problems that will be (and some that won't be) raised at the AAA$ meetings in Chicago, December 26-30, 1970, such as the history of...
