Washington DC: the Council, 1969. 50p., 8.5x11 inch sheets stapled at upper left corner, very good. Also included is a two-page statement excoriating Nixon for starving the poor. Radical report by doctors, religious leaders and activists on hunger in America. "2,000 years ago, Emperor Nero kept the plebs content with a surfeit of bread and circuses. Two weeks ago, President Richard Nixon tried to appease the 25 to 30 million poor, hence hungry or malnourished Americans, with the same diet. There was one difference - he omitted the bread." Another edition of this report was issued as a stand-alone publication rather than as an issue of the Action Report; it was titled "Bread now!

Description:
Providence RI: Brown University, 2002. Pamphlet. Program, about thirty pages, densely printed and densely annotated by an attendee, softbound in 8.5x5.5 inch wraps in "zine" format (untrimmed fore-edge), cover and most pages covered in barely legible red-ink pen holograph. The comments are activist-oriented and smart. Laid in are a plat-map to the Brown campus, and a flyer promoting a book by a conference leader (see below). A casually handled copy with several lengthy precis of panel episodes. FYI, the book flyer is for John McCumber's "Time in the Ditch - American Philosophy in the McCarthy Era"; the attendee's notes provide detail. Attendee may have been a panelist also; we suspect our own local professor, Anatole Anton, R.I.P, whose papers we have been encountering in-shop. The McCumber thesis posits that Joseph McCarthy's short brutal reign in Congress affected not only politics but also higher-education philosophy departments across the U.S., and not just for a year or two, but lingers today.

London: The Macmillan Press Ltd, 1975. Hardcover. xiv, 192p., hardbound in light blue cloth boards gilt, lacks the jacket but has a lengthy (700 words) typewritten letter laid in, in response to editor's request for a reading; signed "hm", it elaborates two disagreements. This copy of the book, by the way, was from Payer's personal collection with her contact info in holograph on the pastedown. Also laid in is one of book's dj flaps which bears discursive comment. Book itself is rather worn with short tears and fray at top and tail, and the second half of textblock has much pencilling. As is, but the enclosed letter should compensate for the damage.
