NEW BOOKS CONFERENCE- 

Noam Chomsky, WHAT UNCLE SAM REALLY WANTS.  Odonian Press, Box 7776,
Berkeley CA 94707. 510 524 3143. 111pgs. $5.

     A great synopsis of Chomsky's work, covering US foreign policy
from the end of World War II to 1992.  This is a great introduction to
Chomsky for those who have never been exposed to any "Alternative"
viewpoint.  It is also a small lightweight book that is cheap and easy
to mail. (I personally have bought and mailed hundreds of these books.
Activists can sell them at "tabling" events just to get the invaluable
information out to the public).

A Collection of Biographies, CAN'T JAIL THE SPIRIT- POLITICAL
PRISONERS IN THE U.S.. Editorial El Coqui Publishers, 1671 N.
Claremont, Chicago, IL 60647, 312-342-8027. 207pgs. $12.

     A moving book about the political prisoners in the U.S., in their
own words.  Very informative about the prison system, itself.  Many of
the prisoners are victims of the F.B.I. Cointelpro efforts (they were
framed) and sentenced very harshly for crimes they did not commit.
This book also contains all the prisoners addresses and encourages
people to publicize their plight and write to them.

Bill Cane, CIRCLES OF HOPE- BREATHING LIFE & SPIRIT INTO A WOUNDED
WORLD. Orbis Books, Maryknoll, NY 10545-0308. 150 pgs. $10.

     A beautiful book which recognizes the depths of the world's
problems and offers practical suggestions on what to do about them.
Very inspiring.  It also includes a bibliography and networking
information.

Pete Brewton, THE MAFIA,CIA & GEORGE BUSH- THE UNTOLD STORY OF
AMERICA'S GREATEAST FINANCIAL DEBACLE. S.P.I. Books/Shapolsky
Publishers, Inc., 136 West 22nd Street, New York, NY 10011. 212
633-2022. 418pgs. $22.95.

     Simon & Schuster gave Pete Brewton a $100,000. advance to write
this book, which is very well researched, but they reneged on the
contract and refused to publish it before the election. It just
reached the bookstores this week and unfortunately it is almost too
close to the election time for it to have a major impact. His thesis
is that the Mafia, the C.I.A. as well as some of the most powerful and
richest people in the country are guilty of looting the Savings and
Loans.  I wanted to get this news out as soon as possible, but I must
admit that I just bought my copy today and haven't had time to read
the whole thing yet.  I did hear him interviewed on KPFA and I must
say that all my research and his interview lead me to believe that
this book is an invaluable resource to point out the reals criminals
and corruption within this country.
