==NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD MEN (AND WOMEN)== | |||
To come to the aid of the Party, especially | |||
if you live in a state where there is currently no LP organization. This is an election year, | |||
so wherever possible, we should be getting it together. Interested in being a pioneer? Then write to National HQ, and volunteer to get things going where you live. Or how about running for office? Nothing like a campaign | |||
to build public awareness of libertarianism; | |||
ask the folks in New York City. | |||
==EQUITARIAN ASSOCIATES CONFERENCE== | |||
On March 28 thru March 30, Equitarian Associates will be holding a conference in Macatawa, Michigan, in conjunction with the Midwest Society for Philosophic Investigations. Speakers will include John Hospers, Eric Mack, Tibor Machan, and many other leading libertarian intellectuals. For info, write Doug Den Uyl, | |||
3049 W. Sunnyside, Chicago, IL 60625. HUMOR WITH A LIBERTARIAN FLAVOR | |||
Woody Allen's latest film, Sleeper, is one | |||
of the funniest movies in years, and has definite libertarian overtones. Woody plays | |||
a born loser who wakes after 200 years to find himself in a future ruled by a mysterious | |||
"Leader" (who looks vaguely like Robert LeFevre), and gets co-opted by an underground group | |||
trying to overthrow the government; at the | |||
end, he tells the heroine that "political solutions don't work," and says that if the rebels succeed, it would be necessary to overthrow their leader in six months. A lot | |||
of hilarious one-liners, and some truly sidesplitting sight gags. A completely non- sensical movie, but great fun. | |||
==ADVISE AND CONSENT, PART FIVE== | |||
The fifth novel in Allen Drury's Advise and Consent series is out, and in the introduction, he reveals that the sixth is not a sequel, | |||
but an alternate ending to the series. In | |||
this one, the bad guys win, and if you can | |||
put up with Drury's fairly heavy-handed propagandizing, it's not a bad novel, and | |||
not unfrightening. To get the most out of it, read the earlier books in the series first. | |||
==A NOTE ON MEMBERSHIP RENEWALS, ADDRESS CHANGES | |||
Once again, may we remind you that when you renew your membership, you will not receive | |||
a new card; your old one is still good. And, please, when you change your address, notify us in advance, if possible, and don't bury your notification in a letter on on the back of an order form. Use a separate postcard, or we may overlook the information. | |||
