book *Popular Alienation* this coming Sunday evening (12/10/95),

Nation editor, with Sherman Skolnick.)
 
Other new material includes: Sagan Sees A Moonbase; Johnny Meyer: 
Gemstone's Link Between Howard Hughes and Aristotle Onassis; Tom 
Slick - Mystery Man; The Men In Black Reanimated; The Norman 
Olson OKC rant; Castaneda Conspiracies; Willis Carto on Varieties

"Support our Troops"
....................
Here we go again with the "support our troops" sloganeering. 
"Support our troops" is the code word for "don't criticize 
sending troops to Bosnia." More sinister, it is the code word for 
"don't criticize Bill Clinton": Bill Clinton is commander-in- 
chief. So if you are critical of the troop commitment then you 
are not "supporting the troops." And, since Bill Clinton is 
technically the #1 "troop", if you criticize him you are, by this 
subtle logic, not "supporting the troops."
 
CN emphatically *does* support our troops -- the real ones. We 
support them so much that we would like to see them safe at home 
with their families this Christmas.

Are There Whitewater Hearings Going On?
.......................................
You might not know it (particularly if you rely on "The Three 
Stooges", Peter, Dan, and Tom of ABC-News, CBS-News, and NBC- 
News), but there are Whitewater hearings going on. Pat Robertson 
of CBN News insists that "the noose is tightening."  Recently, 
former RTC senior investigator Jean Lewis was recalled by the 
Senate Whitewater committee. It was disclosed that she had once 
referred to Bill Clinton as a "lying bastard". (We know Clinton 
is a liar. He may or may not be a bastard.) But CBN News reports 
that the scornful words of Lewis were retrieved by Dems on the 
Whitewater committee in a funny way: Lewis had deleted the memo 
containing the "lying bastard" remark from her computer disk. 
High-ranking Dems, according to Ben Kinchelow of CBN, did an 
"undelete" on the file in order to salvage Lewis' remark. Can 
they do that? Or was that beyond the purview of legitimate 
search?

Nixon
.....
Look for a soon-to-be-released movie by Oliver Stone about the 
late Richard Nixon which, according to the London Telegraph, may 
"tie Nixon in to murders in the Eisenhower years". The script of 
the movie is a closely-guarded secret, but parts have leaked out. 
Look for hypocritical critics soiling their diapers and crying 
that Stone is "distorting history" -- as if intellectual toadies 
belonging to the elite class are not far more guilty of that! 
Stone will most likely take more heat for his latest effort, but 
as they say: "If you are catching flak, you are probably on- 
target."

Mexico Drug Cartels' Power Growing
..................................
An article in the September 7, 1995 Los Angeles Times warns that 
Mexican drug cartels are rushing in to fill the vacuum left by 
their besieged Columbian counterparts. Good thing they now have 
NAFTA to help them along, no? Too bad that Harvard boy and NAFTA 
fan Carlos Salinas de Gotari isn't there to put a stop to things, 
but I hear he's moved to Canada for some reason!

Update: CN 6.62
...............
I have confirmed that the Robert Parry mentioned in CN 6.62 is 
indeed the author of *Fooling America* and once worked for 
Newsweek, AP, and PBS's Frontline.

Thanks
......
Thanks to the many CN readers who responded to my recent "Info 
Sought" request. It can now be confirmed that yes, there really 
was a person named Michael Nigg, a fellow waiter with Ron Goldman 
at the Mezzaluna Restaurant, and that Nigg was brutally murdered  
in September of 1995.
