They called themselves the Motherfuckers; others called them a "street gang with an analysis " Osha Neumann's thoughtful, funny, and honest account of his part in '60s counterculture is also an unflinching look at what all that rebellion means today. The fast-moving story follows the establishment of the Motherfuckers, who are cited as influences by the Yippies and members of SDS; makes vivid the art, music, and politics of the era; and reveals the colorful, often deeply strange, personalities that gave the movement its momentum. Abbie Hoff man said the Motherfuckers were "the middle-class nightmare . . . an anti-media media phenomenon simply because their name could not be printed." In the few years of its existence, the group forced its way into the Pentagon during a war protest, helped occupy one of the buildings in the Columbia University takeover, and cut the fences at Woodstock to allow thousands in for free, among many other feats of radical derring-do.

Progressing from a fractured family of intellectuals to rebellion in the streets of New York and on to communes in California, Neumann shows us a life led in rebellion, anger, and eventually a tentative peace.

After a childhood spent in middle-class comfort in the Bronx, Osha Neumann attended Swarthmore College and Yale University. He became deeply involved with student activism and eventually moved back to New York and helped found the anarchist street gang the Motherfuckers. Neumann is now a lawyer in Berkeley, California.

Until recently, it's been the norm for employers to invest a lot of time, money, and care in the selection of their management personnel and to view hourly employees as replaceable cogs in a wheel. This outdated, wrong-headed practice is exactly what will separate the losers from the winners in the new millenium. Today's exemplary organizations all have one thing in common - they place an unusually high significance on the selection of every employee- managers, supervisors, and hourlies. Over 70% of the U.S. workforce is comprised of frontline workers and the firms that will fall by the wayside are those that continue to pay scant attention to how these hourly employees are interviewed and selected. 267 Hire Tough Proven Interview Questions is a must-have for everyone who hires or manages hourly employees..

"In this remarkable reflection on the culture of the sixties, Mike Marqusee restores the forgotten moral and political contexts of Dylan's supernova years. In doing so, he rescues one of the most urgent poetic voices in American history from the condescension of his own later cynicism."-Mike Davis, author of City of Quartz

Bob Dylan's abrupt abandonment of overtly political songwriting in the mid-1960s caused an uproar among critics and fans. In Wicked Messenger, acclaimed cultural-political commentator Mike Marqusee describes the rise of Dylan's artistic ambition at the expense of his activism. Marqusee advances the new thesis that Dylan did not drop politics from his songs but changed the manner of his critique to address the changing political and cultural climate and, more importantly, his own evolving aesthetic.

Wicked Messenger is also a riveting political history of the United States in the 1960s. Beginning with the march on Washington in the summer of 1964, Marqusee traces the formation of the Southern voter registration movement and the rise of the Students for a Democratic Society and the Weathermen. The twists and turns of political and cultural dissent movements, Marqusee says, were anticipated in the poetic aesthetic-anarchic, unaccountable, contradictory, punk-of Dylan's mid-1960s albums Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited, and Blonde on Blonde.

Dylan's anguished, self-obsessed, prickly artistic evolution, Marqusee asserts, was not what everyone thinks it was: a movement away from politics. It was a movement away from protest and from activism, it was a movement away from the front lines, it was a deeply creative response to a deeply disturbing situation. "He can no longer tell the story straight," Marqusee concludes, "because any story told straight is a false one."

Mike Marqusee is the author of a number of groundbreaking books on politics and popular culture, including Anyone But England, War Minus the Shooting, and Redemption Song. Born and raised in the United States, he has lived in London since the 1970s.
