  • Dave Dellinger's Political Legacy to Occupy Wall Street
    Dave Dellinger’s Political Legacy to Occupy Wall Street cristina scatamacchia Recently historians have shown a growing interest in a small group of Christian radical pacifists, who became conscientious objectors during World War II, op- posed the Cold War and participated in the civil rights movement as well as in the movement against the war in Vietnam (Tracy; Bennett; Mollin). These longtime nonviolent activists were a small but significant minority, because they kept po- litical dissent alive in the forties and fifties when liberal consensus prevailed, bridging the gap between the Old Left and the New Left. Dave Dellinger was one of these activists and, as a leader of the antiwar movement, he played a crucial role in its evolution. He continued to be politically active throughout the eighties and nineties when dissent was virtually non-existent in American society, until his death in 2004 at the age of eighty-eight. His lifelong commitment eased the transition to Occupy Wall Street and provided ongoing continuity among radical movements. This paper outlines and evaluates the influence that Dellinger exerted upon subsequent generations of protestors, from the New Left to Occupy Wall Street. In the latter case, it was an indirect influence because Dellinger died before the beginning of the movement in 2011 and many young activists did not know who he was, even though they pursued the same political goals and strategies. In fact Dellinger was an influential champion of twentieth-century radicalism and is still revered by older activists, who have created a website, as well as an Essay 139 Contest and an annual “David Dellinger Lecture on Nonviolence” to honor his memory and keep it alive (Official Dave Dellinger Website; “Announcing”).

The right to strike is expressly conferred on workers by statute3 but it is routinely surrendered in collective bargaining negotia- tions.4 Management is required to bargain with unions in good faith5 yet somehow it remains free to shut down a plant and thus discharge its entire workforce without giving advance notice, without consulting ei- ther its own workers or the public, and without being obliged to pro- vide just cause for its action.6 The ambiguous consequences of the Wagner Act reflect the dual * This paper was prepared for delivery at the Tenth Annual Meeting of the American Society for Legal History, Philadelphia, October 25, 1980. t Staughton Lynd received his B.A. from Harvard University in 1951, his M.A. and Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1960 and 1962, and his J.D. from the University of Chicago Law School in 1976.

  • Lola Versus Powerman & the Money-Go-Round, Part One (1970)
    LOLA VERSUS POWERMAN & THE MONEY-GO-ROUND, PART ONE (1970) The Kinks spent most of 1969 suffering as many setbacks as there were successes: Arthur’s surprise success was met immediately with a disastrous tour of the United States, marred by Dave’s depression and drug use. The following year saw a complete reversal of fortune for the band, due at least in part to constantly touring, which in turn resulted in Ray’s development into a true showman. However, the main source of the band’s success was a single that contains one of Ray’s finest tunes and lyrics: “Lola.” The album that followed, Lola Versus Powerman & The Money-Go-Round, Part One, only helped to bolster the group’s renewed success and relevance in the United States. The band’s North American tour was abruptly cut short after only nine dates as Mick Avory had been stricken with hepatitis. In spite of the brevity of this tour, one particular event took place that would become a staple of The Kinks’ live show. During a concert in Montreal on February 5th,1 Ray was so angered by the audience’s lack of enthusiasm that he sprayed them with beer. Much like Pete Townshend smashing his guitar, what had occurred purely by accident evolved into something that was expected, if not demanded, by future audiences. Ray is depicted in a photo some ten years after its origins on the cover of Thomas Kitts’ book, Not Like Everybody Else. This incident marked the beginnings of Ray’s shift from being a mere lead singer into a flamboyant showman who would both feed and play off of his audience.

  • A Virtuosic Touch: Hodeide, a Life with the Oud and More
    A Virtuosic Touch: Hodeide, a Life with the Oud and More Ahmed I. Samatar He is as distinguished as any Somali of national accomplishment. Still tall with a straight back, the gait strong, the mind in full alert, the great- est living Somali master of the oud (kaman), Ahmed Ismail Hussein, Hodeide, is now nearly eighty. Like almost a million of his compatri- ots, he is in exile from the continuing violent misery that is the Somali Republic. It is December 27, 2007. We just ended a delicious and long lunch at one of London’s best Indian restaurants, a stone’s throw from the British Museum. He looks as formidable as the late André Segovia, the renowned Spanish and world-class guitarist who transformed that instrument into a treasure of classical music. If Hodeide was born to a country more integrated into the world, he could have been regarded as the Segovia of the oud—famous, rich, and more… We are sitting in my hotel room on a cool day in London, one of his many kaman instruments lovingly held on his lap and the famous and big right-hand fingers itching to strike and set us in at once a tantaliz- ingly sweet and sour mood. There is little doubt that Hodeide is a gifted man, a virtuoso that not only can manipulate the strings to exquisite sounds, but has proven to be capable of astonishing patriotic and romantic song compositions. Moreover, his knowledge of Somali musical performance is among the most arresting, with discriminating judgments to boot.
