Empire or Humanity?
What the classroom didn't teach me about the American empire
By Howard Zinn

Yeah, he is -- always will be -- an American treasure, alongside Studs Terkel in my opinion. I wish there was a timed birthchart -- I can only find 8/24/22, Brooklyn, NY. Born and died on Saturn-Pluto squares, died on his third Saturn return.
ReplyDeleteBob Herbert (NY Times) had a piece about him last week, referring to a recent lunch meeting they had. Might be worth a look.
Yes, a timed birth chart for Mr. Zinn would be excellent to have, wouldn't it?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads-up on Bob Herbert's article! Jude
