Meanwhile, Churchill the Lower Keeps Going

Trust the New York Times to leap onto the Churchill bandwagon. The "Anarchist Bookfair Marks Decade of Dissent," taken from the AP, chronicles the popularity of the Anarchist Bookfair in San Francisco. Noting that "[t]he Bush era has been good for anarchist consumerism," the article places the bookfair in the tradition of Jack London and Alan Ginsberg, and goes on to discuss the rise of now commercially-viable far left publishers, such as AK Press, which has seen its annual growth rise by 10-20 percent, with sales spikes during events such as WTO protests and the 9/11 attacks. The hero of AK Press, Ward Churchill, not being one to miss an opportunity to sell books, was of course in San Francisco for the bookfair.
