Linda Leehman Progressive Video Collection, 1993-2009 RA 7.1-7.2 Linda Leehman Progressive Video Collection, 1993-2009 RA 7.1-7.2 Introduction This collection contains 116 videos in several formats on progressive subjects created by Linda Leehman and Esther Farnsworth of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom and broadcast on community access television in Montpelier, Vermont, as part of the program, “Down by the Riverside,” which ran during the period from 1992 to 2009. The collection was given to the Vermont Historical Society by Linda Leehman and Onion River Community Access (ORCA) Media (Montpelier community access television) in 2013. The collection is stored in two archival boxes and consumes 2 linear feet of shelf space. Agency Note In 1991, Linda Leehman and Esther Farnsworth of Montpelier started a weekly community access TV program called “Down by the Riverside: News, Views and Video.” They were inspired to create this program after being dismayed at the very limited (in perspective, not time!) TV coverage of the 1990-1991 Gulf War. Former US Attorney General Ramsey Clark had traveled to Iraq to cover that war, and could find no network or major cable station willing to air his controversial video footage. The local branch of Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) took the Ramsey Clark video to the local cable access station and got it aired. Both Leehman and Farnsworth were members of Central Vermont WILPF. After the successful airing of the Gulf War video, they decided that the Montpelier area needed to have more, and regular, coverage of events – local, national, and international – that presented a progressive political perspective. They trained with the cable access company and learned to videotape and edit programs that could be aired locally. “Down by the Riverside” ran weekly on cable access in Central Vermont from 1992 until 2009. Most of the programs were produced locally, covering local events. Some programs were produced outside of the area but fit in well with the mission, so were aired as part of “Down by the Riverside.” Scope and Content Vermont Historical Society • Barre 05641-4209 Linda Leehman Progressive Videos 2 This collection contains 116 video productions on VHS tapes, mini-DV tapes, and DVDs on progressive subjects created by Linda Leehman and Esther Farnsworth of the Central Vermont Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom and broadcast on community access television in Montpelier, Vermont, during the period 1993 to 2009 under the title “Down by the Riverside.” Although the program, "Down by the Riverside" began in 1992, the earliest video production included in this collection is coverage of the 1993 March on Washington for Lesbian, Gay, and Bi Equal Rights and Liberation. The bulk of the coverage represented by this collection dates from the mid-1990s to 2009 with only three videos included from the period between 1993 and 1995. The programs include panel discussions, individual lectures, marches and demonstrations, interviews, and documentaries. The participants were professional journalists (Ross Sneed, Sam Hemenway, David Goodman, Peter Freyen, etc.), national figures (Ralph Nadar, William Sloan Coffin, and Amy Goodman, for example), local politicians (Bernie Sanders, Anthony Polina, Deb Markowitz, etc.), poets and writers (Grace Paley, Reeve Lindburgh, Chris Bohjalian, Ellen Voigt, Galway Kinnell, etc.), and local activists (Jules Rabin, Ellen David Friedman, Lucy Nichol, etc.). The topics range from campaign finance reform, health care, war and peace, diversity in the schools, progressivism, women’s rights, the USA Patriot Act, historic preservation, and labor rights.

  • Folly- and Faith-Of Furman
    THE JOURNAL OF APPELLATE PRACTICE AND PROCESS FURMAN AT FORTY PREFACE THE FOLLY- AND FAITH-OF FURMAN John H. Blume* and Sheri Lynn Johnson** Justice Marshall's opinion in Furman v. Georgia memorably characterizes the abolition of capital punishment as "a major milestone in the long road up from barbarism."' For abolitionists today, it is surprising to recall that this phrase was not coined by Marshall, but borrowed from former Attorney General Ramsey Clark.2 That the chief law enforcement official of the United States might publicly condemn capital punishment is, from a modem perspective, almost unimaginable. Since then, we have seen one liberal presidential candidacy founder at least in part on resisting the lure of vengeance: Michael Dukakis's rejection of capital punishment even for a hypothesized murderer of his wife hurt him badly. We have also watched two purportedly liberal candidates hustle to support capital punishment in particularly dubious circumstances; Bill Clinton *Professor, Cornell Law School, and Director, Cornell Death Penalty Project. **James and Mark Flanagan Professor of Law, Cornell Law School, and Assistant Director, Cornell Death Penalty Project. 1. 408 U.S. 238, 370 (1972) (Marshall, J., concurring). 2. Ramsey Clark, Crime in America 336 (Simon & Schuster 1970). THE JOURNAL OF APPELLATE PRACTICE AND PROCESS Vol. 13, No. 1 (Spring 2012) THE JOURNAL OF APPELLATE PRACTICE AND PROCESS left the campaign trail to sign the death warrant of a man so mentally impaired by a self-inflicted gunshot wound that he didn't understand dying,3 and Barack Obama joined the clamor against a (conservative) Supreme Court's decision that imposition of the death penalty for child rape is unconstitutional.4 But back in Furman's day, it was politically possible to condemn capital punishment.

But unless you had something to do with the Supreme Court, there wasn't any need for you to do that, because you were going to do your practice in the local courtsthe trial courts. Hicke: The state supreme court you're talking about? Poole: The Pennsylvania State Supreme Court. I've got this old diploma. It's right over there, I think. Hold it just a second. This is my college diploma. Hicke: "Bachelor of Arts, 1936, from the University of Michigan." And this is the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, 1940. You were admitted in 1940. Poole: Yes, 1940, that is correct. So, anyhow, I decided to do that. In those days, the district court would appoint people to defend persons who were indigent. You didn't get paid. So, I did some of that because I was interested in the federal practice anyhow. Hicke: This is in Pennsylvania? Poole: No, when I got here. In Pennsylvania I worked for a small office. There were four lawyers in it. Hicke: Brown and Jones? Poole: Brown and Jones. Homer Brown and Richard Jones and a couple of lawyers who left shortly after I came there. I made the third person. I was an employee of them, of course, and did all the dirty little things that you had to do. Military Service; Trials and Tribulations Poole: I liked trial work. When I was an enlisted man up in New Hampshire, I was, of course, a member of a bar, and so I was called upon to defend some of the soldiers in courts martial, because though there was a designated trial judge advocate and a designated defense counsel, enlisted people mistrusted them and thought that they would be delivered into the hands of the Philistines if they took their counsel.

Cover photo credits: EIRNS/Stuart Lewis and Philip Ulanowsky INTRODUCTION For the Exoneration of the Most Beautiful Soul in American History by Helga Zepp-LaRouche There is no one in the history of the United States to my knowledge, for whom there is a greater discrep- ancy between the image crafted by the neo-liberal establishment and the so-called mainstream media, through decades of slanders and co- vert operations of all kinds, and the actual reality of the person himself, than Lyndon LaRouche. And that is saying a lot in the wake of the more than two-year witch hunt against President Trump. The reason why the complete exoneration of Lyn- don LaRouche is synonymous with the fate of the United States, lies both in the threat which his oppo- nents pose to the very existence of the U.S.A. as a republic, and thus for the entire world, it system, the International Development Bank, which and also in the implications of his ideas for America’s fu- he elaborated over the years into a New Bretton Woods ture survival.
