I do research for Mumia Abu-Jamal's books and radio commentaries and two things have me stumped. Maybe you could give me a hand.

1) When was this book originally published "Stokely Speaks: Black Power back to Pan Africanism" -- was it Vintage 1965? I am just not sure....I keep finding different contradictory sites.

Any ideas on the origin of the phrase "ideas are bulletproof?"

Do you know anything about the U.S. government run Open Source Center and if it is possible to access it?

Blogger/professor Juan Cole mentioned it on his blog today:

"The American public pays tax dollars so that the Open Source Center of the USG can translate such primary texts. They are, however, not made freely available, though you can get them via university and maybe other good libraries."

I am looking for recent numbers of deaths of Mexican illegal migrants on the US / Mexico border for 2000-present, listed by both border sector and cause of death. I have looked everywhere for this, and can't seem to find it.

Where can I find 19th century depictions of Russian Nihilists? (Such as paintings, illustrations, political cartoons, or modern depictions of 19th Russian nihilists)

I'm mailing you from beirut, lebanon. I'm looking for books on community building and organizing (in squats, neighborhoods, workplace, unemployed, syndicates and unions,...)

I am doing a class project on radical newspapers of the 60's and am having trouble locating information on a paper called Open City. It was published in the 60's in San Francisco. I'm looking specifically for information regarding the paper's founders, dates of publication, circulation, mission statements, etc. Any info would be great. P.S. You guys rock. Librarians unite!!!

How many Cubans were deported as illegal immigrants last year? As you may know, the government distinguishes between Cubans who land in the U.S. (who are given immediate preferential immigration status) and those intercepted in international waters (who are sent back to Cuba as "illegals").

A documentary I watched (Power of Nightmares) claimed that the name "Al-Qaeda" did not exist/was not applied to terrorist activities before September 11th. How can I verify this?

Hi, I am making a Bush Countdown calendar where I write something bad that the Bush administration did on every day of the year. For example, in the March 5 box, I might write, "today in 2002, Bush did X." However, I am having a really hard time finding efficient resources for making the calendar.
