Description:

have different Internet providers for the Review and Undernews pages you may have to search twice. Review (formerly the Idler and later the DC Gazette) was first published in 1964 and is one of the oldest alternative journals in America. Regularly ahead of the curve, the Review has opposed federal drug policy for over 40 years, was a lonely media voice against the massive freeways planned for Washington, was an early advocate of bikeways and light rail, supported neighborhood commissions later adopted in DC, and helped spur the creation of the DC Statehood Party and the national Green Party, In November 1990 it devoted an entire issue to the ecologically-sound city and how to develop it. The article was republished widely. In 1992, the Review's editor hosted a meeting at his home that led to the formation of what is now known as Fair Vote, the leading advocate for instant runoff voting. Even before Clinton's nomination we exposed Arkansas political scandals that would later become major issues. Although our thorough coverage of the story would get us into a lot of trrouble it remains one of the most thorough and accurate accounts of the Clinton story. We reported on NSA monitoring of U.S. phone calls in the 1990s, years before it became a major media story. In 2003 editor Sam Smith wrote an article for Harper's comprised entirely of falsehoods about Iraq by Bush administration officials. The Review started a web edition in 1995 when there were only 27,000 web sites worldwide. Today there are over 170 million active sites. Our 1990 article on the savings loan bailout scandal was selected by Utne Reader as one of the ten most under-covered stories of the past decade. In the 1990s, we began reporting on the dangers of electronic voting. In 1987 we ran an article on AIDS. It was the first year that more than 1,000 men died of the disease. In the 1980s, Thomas S Martin predicted in the Review that Yugoslavia will eventually break up and that a challenge to the centralized soviet state would occur as a result of devolutionary trends. Both happened. In the 1980s, we reported on the dangers of computerized voting and suggested possible solutions including an independent review of software and an adequate audit trail. In the 1970s we published a first person account of a then illegal abortion. In 1971 we published our first article in support of single payer universal health care In 1970, we ran a two part series on gay liberation. In 1970, we proposed DC statehood and explained how it could be achieved. We also proposed an elected district attorney which the city would get in 2014. In 1966 we published two articles on auto safety by Ralph Nader In 1965 we called for the end of the draft. In the 1960s we proposed community policing Before Obamacare was passed, we were one of the few progressive journals warning of the serious problems it posed. About the editor The Review is edited by Sam Smith, who covered Washington under nine presidents, has edited the Progressive Review for 49 years, has written four books (two at the request of editors), been published in five anthologies, helped to start six organizations (including the DC Humanities Council, the national Green Party and the DC Statehood Party), was a plaintiff in three sucessful class action suits, served as a Coast Guard officer, and played in jazz bands for four decades.

The Washington Times listed the show as one of the Sure Things for the week. Mayor Marion Barry attended one performance Unfortunately, no recording was made, but years later Sam made a rough recording of some of the tunes for a curiuous reporter. THE ATTICA THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN One year after Attica, there was a prisoner revolt at the Washington, DC Jail during which the director of DC Corrections and a number of guards were taken hostage. But, unlike Attica, no one was killed. Perhaps this is why so few remember what happened on a night when judges, politicians, U.S. Marshals, prisoners, and hostages all gathered in Courtroom 16 to see what could be done - brought together by a single judge who wasn't afraid o talk when others wanted to shoot.
