Hmm. Does anyone know what tendency Hartley belongs to? Does this
attention the Sparts have been lavishing upon her mean that she's (gulp)
a Spart? (My interest is wholly platonic, I promise...;-)

And yes, I have encoutered (both?) members of Norden's IG -- they showed
up at the most recent rally in support of Mumia Abu-Jamal in
Philadelphia.  The Sparts were nowhere to be seen, though Workers World
-- who have overtaken the New York Coalition and thus alienated a lot of
people -- were out in their usual numbers.
