Coup d'etat in Washington

Vol. 38, Issue No. 32, 09 Aug, 2003
Andre Gunder Frank

Bush's accession to the presidency was in violation to the constitution. In the end he was not elected, but was selected in the supreme court.

AM

The vocal sections of Indians have their priorities sorted out in excellent detail. The nation, the part of it that matters, lives for cricket and is prepared to die for it. Entertain no illusion, these sections do not have the slightest inclination to pledge themselves either for Iraq or for global peace.
