Goodbye To All That (#2)
“Goodbye To All That” was Robin Morgan's (in)famous 1970 essay breaking free from a politics of accommodation especially affecting women. During her decades in civil-rights, anti-war, and contemporary women’s movements, she's avoided writing another specific “Goodbye . . .” But not since the suffrage struggle have two communities—joint conscience-keepers of this country—been so set in competition, as the contest between Hillary Rodham Clinton (HRC) and Barack Obama (BO) unfurls.

Does Hillary Have an Inner Bella?
On a hot day at the end of her hard-fought Senate primary campaign in 1976, Congresswoman Bella Abzug shot her mouth off one time too many. In whatever way Hillary Clinton recasts her campaign after the lessons of Iowa and New Hampshire, she will not make such a foolhardy mistake.
