Restored Print of Metropolis Plays at Ken Cinema Nov. 8-14
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger's Newsmagazine,
|
Metropolis, the classic 1927 science-fiction allegorical film by Fritz Lang and Thea von Harbou, is playing at the Ken Cinema on Adams Avenue from November 8-14 in a newly restored, two-hour version that is vastly more entertaining and somewhat more progressive politically than the 85-minute version usually seen. The film remains important on its own merits as well as for its still-relevant political and social allegories and its overwhelming influence on later cinematic depictions of the future.

Bishop Ruiz, Chiapas Settlement Mediator, Speaks at UCSD
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zengers Newsmagazine,
|
Samuel Ruiz Garcia, who served as the Roman Catholic Bishop of San Cristobal de Las Casas in Chiapas, Mexico from 1959 until his retirement in 1999 and who became internationally famous as the mediator between the Mexican government and the Zapatista rebels during peace negotiations in 1994, spoke at the University of California at San Diego (UCSD) Monday, October 28. His lecture was called, The Pursuit of Justice From the Perspective of the Poor, but instead of addressing that topic directly or talking about the Zapatista negotiations, Ruiz focused on the history of his own life in the Roman Catholic Church and the effect of the Vatican Council called by Pope John XXIII on his career and his views of the churchs role in society.

Remembering Paul Wellstone, Advocate of Single-Payer Health Care
Mark Gabrish Conlan,
|
Recently deceased Minnesota Senator Paul Wellstone was a strong advocate for many progressive causes, but one of the most important was scrapping America's patchwork system of for-profit and non-profit health insurance and replacing it with a single-payer system on the Canadian model. He spoke in San Diego on June 25, 1993 and asked people to help him push President Clinton's health-care plan farther in the direction of single-payer. Wellstone was also the only Senator to attend the Queer-rights march in Washington, D.C. in 1993. (Craftsmen's Hall, where he spoke, is now the Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender Community Center.)

Harry Hay, Founding Faerie of Queer Liberation
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zengers Newsmagazine,
|
The increasingly conservative leadership of the Queer community has tried its damndest to write the radical origins of Queer liberation out of the official histories, and their task got a bit easier on October 24 with the death of Queer-rights pioneer Harry Hay. In this interview, reprinted complete from the first issue of Zenger's Newsmagazine in April 1994, Hay discusses the importance of his early contacts with the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) and his experience in the Communist Party, U.S.A., as well as the publication of the Kinsey Report in 1948, as having shaped his understanding of Queer oppression and the need for a Queer-rights movement.

Feds Exploit Cancer Patient to Bust Medical Marijuana Provider
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger's Newsmagazine,
|
When medical marijuana provider Steve McWilliams was arrested on October 11 by agents of the joint city-county-federal Narcotics Task Force (NTF), he had been the target of an 11-month investigation in which they recruited a woman with cancer to obtain a doctors letter authorizing her to use medical marijuana and use it to infiltrate McWilliams organization, Shelter From the Storm. Through her they collected so-called drug-related evidence that included promotional stickers for Shelter and flyers urging people to attend City Council meetings at which medical marijuana would be discussed.
