today, US National Public Radio had a story about the benefits of the
GI Bill -- which provided a lot of WW2 veterans with college education
and home loans. Somehow, they forgot to mention the stuff about the
class conflicts which produced that Bill. (The Vet's March of
Washington in the early 1930s, the unionization drives of the 1930s,
the strikes of the 1940s, the soldiers' protests at the end of the
war...)
