Three Thousand San Francisco Janitors Prepare for a Strike
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10816-three-thousand-san-francisco-janitors-prepare-for-a-strike
David Bacon, Truthout: "The national confrontation between janitors and some of the world's richest property owners has arrived in San Francisco ... At issue in San Francisco is the same sticking point in most union contract negotiations - health care costs and wages."
The For-Profit College Racket
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10814-the-for-profit-college-racket
Suzanne Merkelson, Moyers & Company: "[F]or-profit colleges take in about $33 billion each year from taxpayers (in the form of student loans), making up 85 to 90 percent of their revenues, yet they spend the large majority of that money on marketing, recruiting and executive salaries ... Not surprisingly, this business model fails their students: 54 percent of the students who enrolled in the 30 biggest for-profit schools examined by Harkin in 2008-09 left institutions without a degree."
Can the Caravan of Peace End the War on Drugs?
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10815-can-the-caravan-of-peace-end-the-war-on-drugs
Tom Hayden, The Nation: "The caravan, which has staged mass marches across Mexico since 2011, is led by well-known Catholic poet Javier Sicilia, 56, whose son Juan Francisco, then 24, was killed in a crossfire in Cuernavaca in March 2011.... If the caravan's call to 'end the violence' diminishes public support for the militarized approach [to the war on drugs], it could force an open dialogue about alternatives like drug legalization."
Schools Without Playgrounds, Children Without Childhood, a Future Without Hope
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10752-schools-without-playgrounds-children-without-childhood-a-future-without-hope
Danny Weil, Truthout: "The Milwaukee Common Council is expected to take up the issue within a week as to a proposed ordinance on whether any new elementary school approved in Milwaukee should include outdoor play space.... Schools are more and more beginning to resemble maximum-security prisons, but at least at most of those institutions, there is one hour of outdoor time."
The Arab Uprisings in Context: An Interview With Middle East Expert Rami G. Khouri
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10791-the-arab-uprisings-in-context-an-interview-with-middle-east-expert-rami-g-khouri
David Zlutnick, Truthout: "The transition is, by nature, slow, messy, erratic, but it's mostly ... peaceful and run according to democratic contestation rules. I think this is about as good as we can expect. We shouldn't expect instant democracy."
UN Should Get Rid of Cholera Epidemic That It Brought to Haiti
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10818-un-should-get-rid-of-cholera-epidemic-that-it-brought-to-haiti
Mark Weisbrot, McClatchy-Tribune: "Besides bringing the cholera epidemic to Haiti and wasting billions of dollars, [UN] troops have committed serious abuses, from killings of civilians to sexual abuse."
How Huge Food Corporations Will Make Upcoming Food Price Hikes Even Worse
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10819-how-huge-food-corporations-will-make-upcoming-food-price-hikes-even-worse
Jill Richardson, AlterNet: "All in all, the U.S. has produced an extremely efficient - but fragile - agricultural system. When all goes well, the U.S. produces massive amounts of incredibly cheap calories. But when something goes wrong, the system can come crashing down like a house of cards."
The Secret Tie That Binds the US and Israel
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/10820-the-secret-tie-that-binds-us-and-israel
Ira Chernus, History News Network: "Israel's myth of insecurity and Americans' myth of homeland insecurity foster the fear of Iran. Indeed the myths demand the fear: Someone has to play the threatening enemy to make the myths believable."
Major Banks Help Clients Hide Trillions in Offshore Tax Havens (Part I)
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10823-major-banks-help-clients-hide-trillions-in-offshore-tax-havens-part-i
Paul Jay, The Real News Network: "James Henry: We've estimated that as of December 2010, somewhere between $21-32 trillion [in US taxes] is basically parked offshore. So it's a major black hole in the global economy and it has lots of consequences."

The Battle Over Killer Coke and Coca Leafs in Bolivia
http://www.truth-out.org/buzzflash/commentary/item/11659-the-battle-over-killer-coke-and-coca-leafs-in-bolivia2
Mark Karlin, BuzzFlash at Truthout: "Bolivia appeared set to become the fourth nation to ban Coca-Cola (along with Myanmar, North Korea and Cuba), but quickly backed off this past week. It's an interesting news story that reveals much about transnational corporations, the coca leaf industry in Bolivia (Coke originally used the coca leaf narcotic in its secret formula), the branding of caramel-colored fizzy water as an international product sold in more than 200 nations and the darker side of the Coca-Cola empire."
