: I find it ironic that Mandel lists 'Saying No to Power' on this website, but then engages in an abuse of power by involuntarily subscribing people to his e-mail listserv. Then, people need to take action to unsubscribe themselves. The US Post Office outlawed postal versions of this coercive tactic years ago.

: How about a page titled 'Saying No To Bill Mandel'?
RESPONSE BY MANDEL: The Establishment has been trying to silence me since
1947 when, not yet 30, I found myself the youngest in a list of 80 to whom
NEWSWEEK devoted a seven-page spread titled "What the Communists Are Up To
Now. It included then-Senator, later (thanks to such attacks)Rep. Claude
Pepper, eternal defender and extender of Social Security; FDR's son
Elliott, named because his book, AS HE SAW IT,demonstrated that that
president favored enlargement of the New Deal and opposed the Cold War
(advocated all during World War II); and the usual suspects like Charlie
Chaplin, Paul Robeson, Orson Welles, Lillian
Hellman, Langston Hughes, Dashiell Hammett, and others, including actual
Communists.
As that didn't work, I was called before the Senate Internal Security
Subcommittee in 1952, the McCarthy Committee in 1953, HUAC in 1960. That
last did get me off public TV's KQED in San Francisco, but it took until
1995 and an entirely new regime in Pacifica, which now publicly takes
instruction from the government's Corporation for Public Broadcasting and
National Public Radio, as just revealed by Dan Coughlin, fired head of
Pacifica National News, to get me off KPFA.
Unable to reach the public on the airwaves except for minuscule
unlicensed Berkeley Liberation Radio (Thursdays 7pm) and the technically
limited listenership of a web station, www.LuVER.com (Mondays 8 p.m.), I am
trying to do so via my book, SAYING NO TO POWER. As, for the first time in
my experience, I have not been reviewed either in Library Journal or
Publishers Weekly, the existence of the book is unknown outside the San
Francisco Bay Area for all practical purposes. Therefore I use Internet
and the Web to overcome that. Waddayaknow about that?
