Thatcher and Friends by John Ross or Over our Dead Bodies -Women Against the Bomb Introductory offer for new readers: Eight issues for just f2! Joy Hurcombe WHEN REAGAN arrives for the Economic Summit, we have a unique opportunity to show our total rejection of everything he stands for. We need enormous support for the on both at the American Embassy on the march from Hyde Park to Trafalgar Square.

The media will be focussed Lancastel House. Thatcher, Mitterand, Koh, and their friends will be deciding says Joy Hurcombe, Vice chair of CND and chair of Labour CND how to increase profit by furthe exploiting the world's resources workers.

They will be planning far they can cut public spending in order to fund their space-age weapons. They will plan cooperation in selling arms to the Third World disguised as overseas aid.

Off the agenda will be any discussion of the real issues. They won't be talking of stopping the nuclear arms race, or of world poverty. They won't be talking about squads EI Salvador or the CIA in Nicaragua, or the abuse of civil liberties here at Greenham Common and on the picket lines.

So it's up to us to force the issues out into the open. CND will be concentrating the that should take his missiles back with him.

This should be our focus, but the wider issues of global strategy, the role of NATO, and the effect of Western policies on the Third World must all be spelled out clearly by the Labour Young Socialists, the unions and the women's - with a massive presence on 9 June.
