I am professor of political science at Lehigh University where I've taught for 35 years. Going back to the 1960s, I have been active in antiwar, social justice, and ecology struggles. I teach classes on "Social Movements and Legacies of the 1960s," "Propaganda, Media and American Politics," and "Organizing for Democracy." My most recent book is "What Really Happened to the 1960s: How Mass Media Culture Failed American Democracy" (University Press of Kansas). It details the role mass media have played in transforming the United States from the hopeful democratic empowerment in the 1960s era to the neo-liberal world we currently live in. I am writing shorter pieces these days about the implications of what happened in and TO the 1960s for contemporary social movements and democratic activism. My prior book was an interpretive history of 1960s social movements, "The 60s Experience: Hard Lessons about Modern America," (Temple University Press).

Court Ruling a Death Knell for Democracy Freedom of expression has repeatedly been defended as one of the most fundamental rights of a democracy. Yet by equating speech with spending, the court has not only distorted this fundamental principle, but has accelerated the decline of democracy.
