Subject: Radical Democrats --- Questions?


    I heard the other day through NPR the speech given somewhere
    in the Mid-west by a reputed radical democrat.  I could not
    catch the name (I think was an African American professor)
    and I was impressed by some comments he made about democracy
    and race relations.  

    I also believe that the woman who Clinton wanted to appoint as
    as a State Department head before Janet Reno is also a "radical
    democrat".  Is this true?

    Questions for Leo (Informational purpose only):
    
    1. What is in a nutshell, radical democracy?

    2. Is this an attempt to revive Deweyism of some sort?

    3. Are you familiar with the differiantiation between "liberals"
    and radical liberals that Trotsky made while testifying during
    the Dewey's Inquire Commission?  Does that, more or less, define
    what is the difference between a "Democrat" and a radical democrat?

    I ask these questions because I have no idea and I'm pretty         
    interested in reading about.  Any book that you will recommend?

    Comradely,
    cARLOS
