Dear editor, I am moving. I'm sure you'll mail your fine paper to my new address. I especially liked the article about how there won't be true women's liberation until we have socialism..
J.I., Philadelphia, Pa.
On Dec. 4 there was a noteworthy demonstration here in Detroit against U.S. intervention in El Salvador.
Holiday shoppers stared in amazement as about 600 demonstrators swayed slowly down the streets of downtown Detroit in a funeral procession called by the Central American Solidarity Committee (CASC). Pall bearers carried coffins draped in black symbolizing the six slain Jesuit priests recently killed by the death-squad government as well as the other 80,000 innocent people who have been killed in El Salvador over the past 10 years.
We all felt a little closer to the Salvadoran people when an organizer read a roll call of the dead. Following each name we cried out "Presente!" in the tradition of the Salvadoran demonstrations.
As in many other cities, there are small signs of a rejuvenation—after a long lull—of the antiwar effort.
Barbara Putnam, Detroit, Mich.
