Program guests’ insights sometimes have to be left out of the final, edited interviews because of time constraints. This potpourri of previously unaired remarks addresses colonial-era policing in New York City (Ben Brucato [1]); the expansive nature of police power (Mark Neocleous [2]); grand juries as a tool of state repression (Michael Staudenmaier [3]); James Baldwin’s criticisms of Richard Wright (Joseph Ramsey [4]); the history of Trotskyism in the U.S. (Bryan Palmer [5]); the passing of Leo Panitch (Greg Albo [6]); and efforts to gain access to official documents (Joseph Masco [7]).
