Come November, 'The Fire Next Time'? - by Ross Mackenzie:
How do you know when you're part of a revolutionary movement? A
possible partial answer: When they -- critics, opponents, the nameless
they who seem to rule -- start trying to define you, as opposed to
letting you define yourself.
They -- leftists, Democrats, mainline pressies -- have sought
