    Missile Defense

Russian military leaders have expressed concern about US plans for a national missile defense system. Will defense technology be limited by possibilities for a strategic imbalance? Is this just SDI all over again?

    PAUL ROBESON, JR.: That is ironic. It's also ironic because he's better known in half a dozen other countries than he is here, including the United Kingdom, Russia, China, India, and lots more. What was fascinating at a major exhibition about his life in New York City, a Queens... A group of Queens school kids, high school kids, was touring the exhibition, and it was two Russian kids and a Chinese kid who were explaining to the African Americans who Paul Robeson was. So there is an extraordinary juxtaposition, which brings me back to the McCarthy era. I think there is little understanding today of the degree and intensity of cultural and political suppression in that decade from about the beginning of the Cold War until 1955-56.
Seems that 'global culture' has more awareness of this Human Giant - Paul Robeson, than Americans .. thanks to the Nazi distortion of their culture. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/conversation/jan-june01/robeson_04-17.html

"Big lie" techniques in America today, and something about how they are organized.
