From the Publisher
The title of this book is grim wordplay, referring to the authors censorship by National Public Radios All Things Considered, which bowed to pressure from then-Senator Bob Dole to ban Mumia Abu-Jamals radio commentaries. A death-row inmate for nearly 20 years, Abu-Jamal here offers more than six dozen essays on such topics as censorship and the failures of the court system. The authors composure, humor, and connection to the living world shine through these writings and represent a kind of victory over the corrections system. This edition includes 12 new essays not in the hardcover edition and a compact disc with banned radio commentaries.
