Tom Webb is on page 60 of 384 of Give Us the Ballot: The Modern Struggle for Voting Rights in America
A fascinating historical overview leading the passage of the voting tights act of 1965 through 50 years of efforts to implement it. Well worth reading now on light if vote suppression in Georgia, North Carolina, North Dakota and various counties in Arizona, Idaho, et al!

Tom Webb is finished with Lightning East to West: Jesus, Gandhi and the Nuclear Age
Douglass is well worth reading. I re-read parts if this book several times to ascertain his meaning. Not sure if nonviolence will work unless there is a massive and prolinged collapse of the transnational class.

Tom Webb is on page 114 of 304 of Downwind: A People's History of the Nuclear West
Revealing and sad! Suggests the lengths the Atomic Energy Commission and other gov't funded agencies went to promote and test nuclear weapons on an unsuspecting public.

Tom Webb is finished with Teilhard: The Man, the Priest, the Scientist
De Chardin's treatment by a narrow-visioned, philosophically hide-bound Catholic hierarchy and even many of his Jesuit confreres prior to Vatican II, is a reminder that institutional change is a very slow, tedious and painful process.
