25, 50 and 75 Years Ago
March 19, 1993
The big-business media and the FBI have used the explosion that shook
New York’s World Trade Center February 26 to whip up a campaign against
“terrorism.” Six days after the blast FBI agents and other cops arrested
Mohammed Salameh, a Palestinian immigrant worker who lives in Jersey
City, New Jersey.
The FBI also arrested Ibrahim Elgabrowny, a carpenter in his Brooklyn,
New York, home. He is detained without bail, although police say they
have no evidence linking him to the explosion. Federal cops arrested
three more men near a Brooklyn mosque and raided several homes of
Egyptian immigrants.
The evens indicate that federal authorities have been guided not by the
pursuit of facts but by political considerations. From the beginning
authorities were determined to pin the explosion on “foreign terrorists.”

General Westmoreland’s request this week for gigantic reinforcements of
206,000 more troops to Vietnam has touched off an unprecedented debate
in the American ruling class.
Never in the course of the war has the division over Vietnam policies
been so deep. Few times in American history have such sharp
disagreements in ruling class circles come to public attention.
The New York Times revealed the existence of a secret Pentagon report on
Vietnam attacking the administration policies from top to bottom.
This division takes place as the full extent of Washington’s defeat in
the Tet offensive is beginning to be assimilated — and to a certain
extent admitted — by top policy makers. It occurs when casualty figures
for American soldiers rose above the 500 level for the second week in a
row.
March 20, 1943
After five days of fruitless wage negotiations, United Mine Workers
President John L. Lewis warned the operators that if a new contract was
not negotiated, “the miners will not trespass upon your property, the
first or second of April.”
