When “news media” drops down, click on that —— and there’re the full interviews! E D I T O R I A L Violence Sometimes Is The Best — And Only Solution THE bromide sounds so good and comfy: “Violence never solves anything!”. That’s why so many people accept it. That’s why they unthinkingly pass it on. That’s why, despite it’s being bullshit, the damn catch phrase has become almost a guide for those poor saps who now live in a feral world and who feel helpless to deal with it. “Well,” they tell themselves, “violence certainly is no solution. We’ve just got to find ways to encourage dialog with troublemakers, and talk out our differences.” The truth is that while always regrettable, recourse to physical force is sometimes desperately necessary and completely justifiable. This fact —— this concept —— was once understood as being axiomatic. No sane person questioned, for example, that the absolute right to self-defense existed for everyone; everywhere, and at all times. Today, a great deal of confusion has been allowed to permeate the minds of formerly sensible people, and we observe such horse manure as “zero tolerance for violence” being announced as policy in the public schools —— making a bully’s victim as culpable as the bully if that victim defends himself.

Stephen King's books have become a lightning rod for the tensions around issues of including "mass market" popular literature in middle and 1.i.gh school English classes and of who chooses what students read. King's fi'tion is among the most popular of "pop" literature, and among the most controversial. These essays spotlight the ways in which King's work intersects with the themes of the literary canon and its construction and maintenance, censorship in public schools, and the need for adolescent readers to be able to choose books in school reading programs. The essays and their authors are: (1) "Reading Stephen King: An Ethnography of an Event" (Brenda Miller Power); (2) "I Want to Be Typhoid Stevie" (Stephen King); (3) "King and Controversy in Classrooms: A Conversation between Teachers and Students" (Kelly Chandler and others); (4) "Of Cornflakes, Hot Dogs, Cabbages, and King" (Jeffrey D.
