CHICO HAMILTON: EIGHTY YEARS YOUNG
Celebrating his 80th birthday year with consummate cool is faculty member Chico Hamilton, who released his latest CD for Koch Jazz, Foreststorn, earlier this year. The album features Chico's Euphoria group as well as special guests and former bandmembers Arthur Blythe, Steve Turre, Eric Person, former Spin Doctors' guitarist Eric Schenkman (a Jazz Program alum), Blues Traveler's John Popper (also a Jazz Program alum), and Charlie Watts of The Rolling Stones. Currently, Foreststorn is on the 44th Grammy Awards Entry List, under the Jazz Category for Best Jazz Instrumental Album, Individual or Group, and is the fastest shipping album in Koch Jazz' history. Over the summer, Chico performed with Euphoria at New York's The Knitting Factory (broadcast on the BET Network), and also participated in an extraordinary celebration at Lincoln Center Out-Of-Doors' August festival called "My Funny Valentine - An 80th Birthday Tribute to Chico Hamilton."
Chico is also featured in the November Down Beat's "Still The Man," an article celebrating the Koch release as well as highlighting his 80th birthday. Describing him as a "musician first, drummer second," the writer praises Chico's far-ranging and consistently astounding music talents, as well as his history as a mentor of other musicians.

A STATEMENT OF CONSCIENCE Not In
Our Name L et it not be said that people in the United States did nothing when their government declared a war without limit and instituted stark new measures of repression. The signers of this statement call on the people of the U.S. to resist the policies and overall political direction that have emerged since September 11, 2001, and which pose grave dangers to the people of the world. We believe that peoples and nations have the right to determine their own destiny, free from military coercion by great powers. We believe that all persons detained or prosecuted by the United States government should have the same rights of due process. We believe that questioning, criticism, and dissent must be valued and protected. We understand that such rights and values are always contested and must be fought for. We believe that people of conscience must take responsibility for what their own governments do we must first of all oppose the injustice that is done in our own name. Thus we call on all Americans to RESIST the war and repression that has been loosed on the world by the Bush administration. It is unjust, immoral, and illegitimate. We choose to make common cause with the people of the world. We too watched with shock the horrific events of September 11, 2001. We too mourned the thousands of innocent dead and shook our heads at the terrible scenes of carnage even as we recalled similar scenes in Baghdad, Panama City, and, a generation ago, Vietnam. We too joined the anguished questioning of millions of Americans who asked why such a thing could happen.

CHAPTER FOUR Realization: The Workers' Musical of the Popular FrontPart I1936-1937 Leftism During The Popular Front During the years from 1935 to 1939, the Third Period ended and the Popular Front emerged. Russia's needs changed: it needed an alliance with Western "democracies" in order to combat the fascist threat of Franco, Mussolini, and especially Hitler. Talk of revolution was toned down; even Socialists became valuable allies in the fight against fascism. Earl Browder pleaded with Socialist Norman Thomas for unity, and, by 1936, the Communists had expanded the idea for a united front not only to Socialists, but also to other radicals, liberals, and even some conservatives. The Popular Front had only one requirement: non-Communist nations must favor collective action against Hitler's fascism. American Communists called their programs "Twentieth-Century Americanism" and the New Deal came to be considered "progressive," to such an extent that the Communists supported Roosevelt in the 1936 elections and even more obviously in 1938. The period from 1939 to 1941 must have shocked many Communists and supporters.

(Bogen er udmærket til at få indblik i baggrund og historie for internationale jødiske navne. Fremhævelser er mine, til at gøre opmærksom på, at et navn er kendt i Danmark. "Fordanskninger" (når nævnt) er mine, som et bidrag til forståelse af, hvordan en ændring af navnet i Danmark kunne blive. Opstillingen ved mig. Mange kendte danske jødiske navne findes dog ikke her, en kendt jøde hedder f.eks. Olsen, og det, at et navn er almindeligt brugt af jøder, betyder ikke nødvendigvis, at personen er jøde, eks. ”Miller” = ”Müller” = ”Møller” er et almindeligt navn, både for jøder og ikke-jøder. k.e.)

Southern Exposure: On the Bus from Atlanta to Whitwell Gary Band
Jewish Journal Staff
Paper Clips poster reads. Indeed it was. An authentic German rail car built in 1917 that transported innocent victims to their deaths was painstakingly acquired, shipped and driven to Whitwell in November 2001, refurbished, set upon tracks, and filled on either glass-enclosed side with 11 million clips and a suitcase full of letters to Anne Frank. And now, on this sacred site where it will stand forever, plants, flowers, mosaics and sculptures of butterflies, and a second memorial containing another 11 million clips, surround the railcar. Before the award-winning documentary film Paper Clips was released in 2004, the school welcomed about 250 visitors a month to this solemn and celebrated space. But in the last year, that number has grown to more than 700. Having so profoundly touched and affected untold numbers of people, and because the film was so moving to me, all three times, I was nearly as thrilled as the Hillel kids to see for myself the place and meet the people where

The United States media, in a bloc, intentionally withheld this information from the American public. As if a (secret) Israeli Wall Street Journal "reporter" tracking down insurgents in Iraq wasn't a news story? Whatever happened to the "free press" once it became Jewish and Israel-centered? The man was already murdered. Hiding his Israeli citizenship wasn't going to save him. His Israeli citizenship was withheld from the world for what real reason?

Bohemian R.A.P. CD Intro
W E'RE B AAACK
From the twisted minds of our members, it's the
"Bohemian R.A.P. CD!"
The first set was such a hit, we had to do it again! Yes, this is the long-awaited second compilation to emerge from the depths of rec.audio.pro, a newsgroup that teaches the finer points of flaming and "what's the best anything ever for $100?" (Oh yeah, sometimes we talk about music and audio, too).
Once again, the music on the CDs covers an astonishing range of styles and budgets. Some prehistory: Way back in 1998, Mike Phillips had the gall to say: "I've read this group religiously for over a year now and cannot say that I have (knowingly) heard any music recorded by any of the regulars (Scott, Fletcher, Harvey, Mike, Hank, et al.) Talk is cheap...let's hear what you do with all of these mics, limiters, consoles, Harleys, and beer!"
Who were we to say no? Hence, this collection. Once again, no restrictions were placed on the selection of the cuts on the compilation other than length. Any and all were welcome, and the resulting diversity is (again) a very good thing.

No Place to Hide
Telis Demos reviews No Place to Hide by Robert O'Harrow, in The New Republic To veteran Washington Post reporter Robert O'Harrow, September 11 was the tipping point in a battle for civil liberties. For decades, private companies and hush-hush government projects have been expanding and improving their ability to gather information about American citizens. When the planes hit the towers, the political will to use these capabilities was born, and since then a frightening new surveillance society has arisen, according to No Place to Hide . In anecdote after anecdote, O'Harrow details the incredible range and variety of information being collected, and how the FBI and other agencies have begun learning to put it to use. He explores new fingerprint and eye-scan technologies that the government can now match up to terrorist watch lists. He notes that the Department of Homeland Security has awarded record-setting contracts to private firms to analyze the disparate consumer data floating around, tag people who make suspicious purchases and travel arrangements, and create actionable police reports. O'Harrow recounts many instances where this information wasn't used against terrorists but rather in routine police investigations, for which the post-9/11 intelligence reforms were never intended.
