The January 1972 issue of Science for the People suggested that there was an interest in seeing an issue on "Science Teaching from a Radical Perspective," and with the appropriate back-to-school month staring us in the face, we looked at each other and said, "Hey, let's put out an issue on science teaching from a...

The American government's latest maneuvers in the Indochina War reaffirm that the calculated genocide is no mistake of foreign policy. The highly mechanized air and sea warfare kills and maims indiscriminately. The use of mines, plastic anti-personnel bombs, people sensors, defoliants, and weather manipulation (as...
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...
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. Our...

Each issue of Science for the People is prepared by a collective assembled from volunteers by a committee made up of past collectives. A collective carries out all editorial, production, and distribution functions for one issue. The following is a distillation of the actual practice of past collectives.
Before you settle down with this issue of Science for the People, we suggest you tum to page 30 and check out the "Spring Action Calendar." We encourage you to participate in such actions since we believe that it is only through large scale action that this nation will be moved. Also, we would appreciate hearing of...
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...
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...
