-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Daniel Ellsberg on the Nuclear Era / The Future of Liberalism / Obama on Health Care Reform Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2009 05:44:17 -0400 (EDT) From: Truthdig <newslet...@truthdig.com> Reply-To: newslet...@truthdig.com To: a...@apfn.org Drilling beneath the headlines DAILY. >> TRUTHDIG ARTS AND CULTURE: The Truthdig Book Review Edited by Steve Wasserman "Benjamin R. Barber on Alan Wolfe’s ‘The Future of Liberalism’" -- Can liberalism be rescued from those who equate it with treason, terrorism, evil and even a mental disorder? >> TRUTHDIG ORIGINAL REPORTS: Daniel Ellsberg on the Nuclear Era "A Hundred Holocausts: An Insider’s Window Into U.S. Nuclear Policy" -- The document in his hand was almost unthinkable: It projected roughly 600 million deaths in a U.S.-Soviet war. Here’s the first installment of a memoir of the nuclear era by Daniel Ellsberg, the man who revealed the Pentagon Papers. Bill Boyarsky on Obama and Health Care "A Speech Even Insurance Companies Could Love" -- President Barack Obama’s health care reform speech to Congress Wednesday night was impassioned, but it also echoed a lot of ideas from insurance company lobbying. >> SPECIAL REPORT: Transcript: President Obama on Health Care Reform "Full Text of the President’s Speech to Congress" -- The president’s speech to Congress on Wednesday was not without surprises, including a Ted Kennedy-inspired appeal to the “character of our nation” and a rowdy (and democratically elected) heckler. Here is the full text. >> DON'T MISS THE BEST OF OUR SYNDICATED COLUMNISTS: Marie Cocco on the Victims of Ground Zero "A 9/11 Debt Still Unpaid" -- Thousands of those who descended on lower Manhattan after the terrorist attack were not cops or firefighters, and didn’t have the safety nets those jobs provide. Joe Conason on Conservative Furor at Obama’s School Speech "A Perfect Storm of Idiocy" -- How did America surrender its political discourse—not to mention the news cycle—to the most unreasonable and unstable elements of the far right? E.J. Dionne on Obama’s Health Speech "Obama’s Health Care Reset" -- By joining specifics, a powerful moral argument and an unapologetic defense of government’s role in promoting social justice, the president sought to rescue the health care debate from the mire of a congressional system that has encouraged delay and obstruction. Ellen Goodman on Troubles for the Still-Employed "Grateful to Have a Job, and Bone-Tired" -- The spotlight of the Great Recession has been properly on the nearly 10 percent of workers who are unemployed. But there has been far less said about the collateral damage on the 90 percent who “still have a job” but are looking at the empty seats. Fearfully. Gratefully. Eugene Robinson on Republican Disrespect for Obama "No Way to Treat a President" -- Throughout the president’s speech Wednesday, there was grumbling, mugging and eye-rolling on the Republican side that was not only undignified but frankly un-American. David Sirota on the Health Care Trigger "We’ve Seen This Trigger Before" -- The “trigger mechanism” is gaining momentum after President Obama’s speech to Congress. Once again, lawmakers turn to legislative subterfuge to kill popular common sense reform. Keep on digging! * * * Forward email This email was sent to a...@apfn.org by newslet...@truthdig.com.
