The real purpose of trickle-down economics was given away by David Stockman, President Ronald Reagan’s budget director (1981-85). He admitted it was camouflage, a Trojan horse, whose real intent was just to give the wealthy more money, rather than boosting the economy. The biggest cut to top marginal individual income tax rates was in 1925, which dropped the top rate sharply from 46 percent to 25 percent. Four years later came the Great Depression.

Lowriders as Art Work
Sandoval, profesor de la Universidad de Cal State Northridge, ha investigado y documentado el auto Lowrider como un catalizador artístico y un ícono cultural que apareció en las calles de Los Angeles y en las comunidades chicanas a través de los Estados Unidos después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. El coche Lowrider coincidió con la proliferación del arte chicano y se convirtió en lienzos itinerantes que se convirtieron en una forma de arte en sí misma, así como la intrincada mecánica y hidráulicos que definía un auto Lowrider. -- San Fernando Valley Sun (in Spanish)

Parade's Telling of a Lynching in the South Resonates Now More Than Ever
"Considering the political climate right now, this absolutely could have been written yesterday," says director Kari Hayter, a theater instructor at Cal State Northridge who staged Parade there last year.
