· Betty Martini. The Aspartame Epidemic.

Read the landmark article that exposes why the Food and Drug Administration approved a controversial food additive.

"A worldwide epidemic is raging. The cause is a poisonous chemical sweetener, aspartame (marketed as NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful), the most controversial food additive ever approved. In reality it is a drug which interacts with other drugs and changes brain chemistry."

· Len Bracken. Child and Adolescent Labor: The Weakest Link in a Work-Based World.

Author and social activist Len Bracken critiques the globalist New Economy's most dubious practice: child and adolescent labor. Learn about how to fight this injustice and avoid work psychosis.

"No form of labor cries out to be abolished louder than child labor. When I think of former Live with Regis and Cathy Lee! host Cathy Lee Gifford offering her son up to the commodity-celebrity machinery of the movie industry or of the multitudes of young lives destroyed by manual labor, such as the kids employed in the sewing factories that make celebrity clothing lines for people like Cathy Lee, child labor appears as the weakest link in our work-based world."

· Paul Krassner. The Parts Left Out of the Patty Hearst Trial.

Legendary counterculture publisher and renegade journalist Paul Krassner delves into the twilight world of Patty Hearst's abduction and subsequent trial.

"Patricia Hearst had been kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army--led by Donald "Cinque" DeFreeze. She was kept in a closet, then she joined them, changed her name to Tania, adopted radical rhetoric, and robbed a bank with them. Now the philosophical paradox which has plagued the history of human consciousness--Is there or is there ain't free will?--was finally going to be decided by a jury."
