This evening on WORT-FM, Madison, WI I spoke with San Diego poet
Maggie Jaffe. She read some of her poetry. I had a couple of her books
and offered them to the first two people who called in with the answer

called in immediately answering, "The execution oof Julius and Ethel
Rosenberg."
There were no reminders in the newspapers yesterday. Sad.
With the Rosenbergs in mind Maggie read a poem Civil Poetry (after Pier
Paolo Pasolini, 1968) from her soon-to-be-published book
