The government has become increasingly dependent on massive inputs of American aid, and has encouraged an immense flow of foreign investment, which is thus far concentrating on oil, timber, and minerals. All of these actions have incidentally benefited the American corporate community, many of whose members have eagerly flocked to the area...
...their importance derives from the shooting or the guard's death or his trial. But we would have never known of George Jackson if he had not been unjustly accused, if he had not become a cause , if his life as an inmate had not by a grotesque nexus of circumstances put him in touch with well connected white lawyers and prominent movement figures like Angela Davis.

In the party, not in Parliament or on the hustings, he established his political prominence-"climbing up the scale of preferment" since 1957. He runs in a wonderfully safe district, which "would elect the backend of a jackass" if it wore the Labour label. "It's a very humbling thought," added Crossman. "They're not voting for me, they're voting for the machine. That is what left wing politics is all about...
