Power to the People! We, the editors of NVT join our readers and all other progressive people in congratulating the people of the Soviet Union in their stunning and inspiring defeat of the coup attempt of 18-22 August. We wish them every success in their challenging future and thank them for demonstrating just how powerful nonviolence can be, in the hands of a unified population. Violence is not the ultimate sanction! Photo reproduction and printing by Jon Marshall of Marshall Arts, 24 Industrial Ave, Wacol. Editorial Collective We hope Nonviolence Today will promote nonviolence in a broad sense. It is strictly nonprofit and all editors donate their time and use of personal resources. The editors for this issue were Jan, Janelle, Jerry and David. We hope you will continue to support our efforts to promote the understanding and practice of nonviolence. "It does no good to lament violence and war, or recount how violent our country or any people have been, if you do not have a substitute means of struggle which people can adopt for the goals that they want."
