1832 - Goethe dies, age 82, in Weimar, with last words: "More
Light!" Poet/playwright/novelist/philosopher.

“Nothing is more revolting than the majority; for it consists
of few vigorous predecessors, of knaves who accomodate
themselves, of weak people who assimilate themselves, & the
mass that toddles after them without knowing the least what it
wants.”

                                                --- Goethe

1905 - France: Trial of Alexander Marius Jacob concludes at
Amiens. Marius Jacob was an anarchist, burglar, & member of
"Les travailleurs de la nuit" (Workers of the Night) gang,
credited with 150 burglings. Marius Jacob & Felix Bour
received life in prison , 14 people got sentences ranging from
5 to 20 years, while another seven were freed.

1942 - Norway: Manifesto against Nazi control of education
read in most churches.

1947 - Beloved & Respected Comrade Leader President Truman
issues an order calling for strict FBI check-ups into the
loyalty of all prospective Federal employees. The order
results in the creation of the "Attorney General's List" of
subversive organizations.

The order requires more than two million people to swear they
never directly or indirectly associated with any of 78
subversive organizations listed by Attorney General Tom Clark.
Employees are invited to speak "freely" -- with absolute
discretion -- about any "deviant" acquaintance. Not even those
named will learn who snitched (unable to confront their
accusers). The first person convicted under the order is
Rhodes scholar & publisher Carl Marzani, who was sentenced to
three years in prison for perjury.

The last organized resistance to the loyalty oaths will be a
1949 lawsuit by 26 postal workers. Several hundred federal
employees are fired under the program, & 438 people will
resign rather than sign. Thousands more remain under suspicion
for years.

1954 - US: Admiral Arthur W. Radford, Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, announces that "the French are going to win" in
Indochina.

1958 - South Africa: Women demonstrate against pass laws.

1968 - France: March 22nd Movement emerges -- an organization
with no hierarchy & no ideological program. Includes members
of various groups but also unorganized students.

Dany Cohn-Bendit soon established himself as a principal
spokesman; describing himself as 'a megaphone for the movement
& an anarchist by the negation of authoritarian hierarchies as
communism & capitalism'.

Cohn-Bendit & the Situationists wanted central coordinated
worker/student-councils, who act together but preserve their
autonomy.
The Sorbonne was transformed from an institutionalized
bureaucracy to 'a volcano of revolutionary ideas'. Day & night
in every lecture hall were passionate discussions. The spirit
of the Paris Commune was back ...

'People who talk about revolution & class struggle without
referring explicitly to everyday life, without understanding
what is subversive about love & what is positive in the
refusal or constraints, such people have a corpse in their
mouth.'

    — Raoul Vaneigem, “The Revolution of Everyday Life”

garbage, begins a 162-day, 6,000-mile search for a port
willing to take its' load. As the boat barged it's way into
the media spotlight -- a surreal symbol of man's inability to
clean up his own mess -- it's rebuffed by 6 states & 3
countries before New York City agrees to burn the trash.
