These are my links for March 4th through March 8th:
- March 3 1979 in Iran: Stop the Bomb - “Already in 1978 the Iranian woman, Atoussa H., wrote to Michel Foucault, a fan of Khomeini: ‘It seems that for the leftist movement in the West, which lacks humanism, Islam is desirable… for other peoples.’” Annotated link
- Police Officer Who Shoved a Bicyclist Is Off the Job - NYTimes.com -
- On the Greek Riots › My Kuneva - A poetic expression of the roots of class rage
