‘Inspire Please…’

By Howard Zinn. ZCommunications. July 16, 1999. The Progressive, September 1999, as "Words in Encouragement."
"For those not in the know, let me explain that we who write for the progressive-radical movement have our specialties. Some specialize in writing depressing stuff. Others write humorous pieces.

Article by Howard Zinn. The Progressive. May 1999.

Several things seem clear to me, and they don't fit easily together in a way that points to a clean solution."

Private Ryan Saves War

Article by Howard Zinn. The Progressive. October 1998.
"I was angry…because I did not want the suffering of men in war to be used—yes, exploited—in such a way as to revive what should be buried along with all those bodies in Arlington Cemetery: the glory of military heroism."

"When people get discouraged because they do something and nothing happens, they should really understand that the only way things will happen is if people get over the notion that they must see immediate success. If they get over that notion and persist, then they will see things happen before they even realize it."
