Finally: MIKE DAVIS pays tribute to DOROTHY HEALEY the lifelong activist died Sunday. She was 91. “The Left’s ‘greatest generation’ – those tough-as-nails children of Ellis Island who built the CIO, fought Jim Crow in Manhattan and Alabama, and buried their friends in the Spanish earth – have now almost entirely passed from the American scene. It is an inestimable, heart-wrenching loss, and it is now symbolized by the death of Dorothy Ray Healey.” (Photo by Darrow Montgomery)
