Autobiography in Fiction
TEFTX13 S ER October 29, 1982 A Journal of Free Voices 75 .0 Autobiography in Fiction 'M GOING TO talk about myself— which, I suppose, is what is ex- I pected of me. But certainly not from the position of defending myself or even from that of a "writer of autobiographi- cal fiction." I'm afraid that definition of me would not be nearly enough. I'm way beyond that. Way beyond autobiog- raphy! I've passed on through and come out somewhere else — beyond myself— long ago. So I'm not taking a stand and I do not appear here as an exponent of, or even as a maker of, autobiographical — except in my own way! — anymore than one of what is called "experimental fic- tion." Yet for me iverything I have ever written, just about, I guess, has been in the nature of experiment — most of the time. My question has been, and keeps being, "How in the world will I do it? Well, let me try this, let me try that." I've really been experimenting to see if I could write — at all — what I had in mind, whatever vision I had, whatever it was that was obviously pushing me to get the design of, to get some meaning of — and some relief from, some peace, so it would let me alone. So it's all been an experiment — and, finally, invention, imagination, fabrication — way beyond where I started.

While the regulations proposed for public comment were the result of ex- haustive negotiations and heated skirmishes between TDA and public and private interest groups, they are not the actual point of contention they are made out to be by groups opposing their im- plementation. Rather, the pesticide regulations are being used by large political and private interest groups to draw the line on Jim e u Hightower and on a process of Pog change that has shaken these in- lan terest groups loose from the A stranglehold on the state's by to agricultural and economic policies Pho they so long enjoyed. - -------- -1=z---N -----\--;74 1 = =---1--------- - 1---- . • PAGE TWO • ----A -- $ F OE . - — — - —7- -: 52: ---. - . - % „ HE PEOP ..-/-__- -&-.. .- Lines (Continued from Cover) _-:..

Alternative Energy Coalition Records Finding
Special Collections and University Archives : University Libraries Alternative Energy Coalition Records 1960-1981 (Bulk: 1976-1980) 8 boxes (12 linear ft.) Call no.: MS 586 Collection overview A product of the vibrant, progressive political culture of western Massachusetts during the early 1970s, the Alternative Energy Coalition played a key role in the growth of antinuclear activism. In 1974, the AEC helped mobilize support for Sam Lovejoy after he sabotaged a weather tower erected by Northeast Utilities in Montague, Mass., in preparation for a proposed nuclear power plant, and they helped organize the drive for a referendum opposing not only the proposed plant in Montague, but existing plants in Rowe, Mass., and Vernon, Vt. Forming extensive connections with other antinuclear organizations, the AEC also became one of the organizations that united in 1976 to form the Clamshell Alliance, which made an art of mass civil disobedience. The AEC Records provide insight into grassroots activism of the 1970s and 1980s, galvanized by the seemingly unrestrained growth of the nuclear power industry. The records, emanating from the Hampshire County branch, contain both research materials used by the AEC and organizational and promotional materials produced by them, including publications, minutes of meetings, correspondence, and materials used during protests. Of particular interest are a thick suite of organizational and other information pertaining to the occupation of the Seabrook (N.H.) nuclear power plant in 1979 and minutes, notes, and other materials relating to the founding and early days of the Clamshell Alliance. The collection is closely related to the Antinuclear Collection (MS 547).

Borders and Unions in the Valley

A house like many others with a garden and white- washed cinder-block walls. But there are a large number of people entering and leaving the door at the back of this house. And on a door at the front "Casa Oscar Romero" is painted in black. On this late afternoon in San Benito, five or six men in their late teens, twenties, and thirties kick around a soccer ball on the empty, dusty lot next to the house. An older man and young girl sit on a wooden bench with their backs against a wall of the house. The man grips the edge of the plank on which he is seated and stares off into space. The girl watches the men kicking the ball around and laughs. Near the rear entrance to the house three women are lco ca engaged in discussion. is n A trailer with a little awning attached Ma is located some hundred feet behind the house.

ROBERT WILLIAMS Political Legitimacy and the Dynamics of Anti-Nuclear Protest in America
EnterText 6.3 ROBERT WILLIAMS Political Legitimacy and the Dynamics of Anti-Nuclear Protest in America I. PROLOGUE 1. Political legitimacy is a useful concept, not only for political and social philosophers, but also for social scientists. Recent events happening in the USA—for example, the 2000 Presidential election and the George W. Bush administration’s policies leading to the Iraqi war—allow us to raise issues about legitimacy, or the justifications of a polity’s right to govern. In those events, and indeed for many others, legitimacy is often analysed in terms of procedural norms. Is the national government accountable, in a liberal-democratic sense, to the electorate? Such a question is implied in surveys of public opinion on President Bush’s policies in Iraq. Or take another question: how do we resolve conflicts between competing claims to equal protection? That question was faced by the US Supreme Court when it was deciding the case, Bush v. Gore.1 For some political commentators, the American polity is legitimate to the extent that it judiciously upholds procedural norms like due process and equal protection. 2. Yet I contend that the concept of political legitimacy is not, and should not, be only about procedural norms. This paper examines a way to theorise the implications for political legitimacy Robert Williams: Anti-Nuclear Protest in America 111 EnterText 6.3 which arise from popular protests against government policies. In brief, the paper provides a critically framed concept of legitimacy and applies it to nuclear energy policy in America. Nuclear energy itself had not captured much public attention before September 2001 (certainly not compared to the attention atomic power had received in previous decades). -
