May 21  A new letter from Bologna: Doug's 60-year teaching career ended yesterday. He reminisces about his professorial debut, at UC Berkeley in 1949. But don't mourn, organize!

March 20  A new letter from Bologna: Pres. Obama has inherited one helluva mess. The Repugs will try to blame everything on him. Obama is intelligent and decent, and he needs all the help we can give. It's crisis time.

March 5   Now online is Doug's last U.S. lecture, the class at Modern Times Bookstore, San Francisco, 2006-09-05. He discusses the four things at the bottom of the abyss that are going to bring the world to an end, "four horrible things" having to do with war, the economy, politics, and the environment.

He notes, [In my then-87 years] "I've never been as horrified, as frightened, as disgusted, as I am now."

Doug's dire predictions are uncannily accurate: They sound like articles from today's better newspapers of the world (or blogs).

The lecture is also a fitting summary of his 60-some years of teaching and activism. Listen to the lecture...

January 27  A new (and long) letter from Bologna: Pres. Obama won't do the right thing without our organizing to put pressure on him.

December 31  Happy New Year (from Doug in Bologna). It's going to be a year of rainbows, fluffy bunnies, and peace on earth — not.
