Can Time Inc. Survive the Kochs? November 28, 2017 By Jane Mayer
..."This year, among the Kochs’ aims is to spend a projected four hundred million dollars in contributions from themselves and a small group of allied conservative donors they have assembled, to insure Republican victories in the 2018 midterm elections. Ordinarily, political reporters for Time magazine would chronicle this blatant attempt by the Kochs and their allies to buy political influence in the coming election cycle. Will they feel as free to do so now?"...

Devil's Tango: How I Learned the Fukushima Step by Step
"This book is a revelation, and a searing denunciation of the worldwide nuclear energy industry. You will never get a better description of what actually happened (and is still going on) at Japan's Fukushima power plants after the March 11,2011 earthquake and tsunami.
Pineda defies a world media blackout in her minutely detailed, day-by-day exposé of what amounts to humanity's death wish. It has taken great courage and immense research for the author to trace the fallout from our planet's most recent, and seminal, nuclear catastrophe.
Devil's Tango is a call for us to wake up, inform ourselves, and resist. The author is a poet, an artist, and a disciplined investigative reporter who writes with the searing urgency of a mother desperate to save her own child. "Nuclear energy equals murder...." That is the message of this memoir written with boundless energy, even humor, and passionate resolve. Devil's Tango contains everything you always wanted to know about Fukushima, Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, and nuclear energy in general but were afraid to ask. It is a work of a conscience truly in touch with, and deeply concerned about, humanity"
— John Nichols, author of The Sterile Cuckoo, The Milagro Beanfield War, A Fragile Beauty, Nirvana Blues, An American Child Supreme: The Education of a Liberation Ecologist, et al.
